[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5588923, member: 20583"] Basically you snip some of the ends off branches and stick them a pot with soil until they establish new roots to be planted as their own tree again. That's over simplifying it but that's it in a nutshell. YouTube has LOTS of tutorials on how to do it. I've done it with maples, plums, pears, red dogwood, etc. but not crabapples yet. I think I'll try it though. Any time you prune a tree you've got all the clippings you need. You can either throw them away or you can try getting them to grow roots. I always at least try. Success rate for me isn't real high but it doesn't cost anything. Heck I took several cuttings of red osier dogwood from a swamp in Wisconsin last year and they're growing in a pot on my front porch and have already bloomed & leafed out. I'll be planting them next week. [/QUOTE]
