Can you taking cuttings from a kumquat tree?


Question:

Answers:
If you want to start a new citrus tree you need to do what is call air-rooting. To do this go to the garden center and get a product called root tone. Peel back a small section of the bark about 2-3" from where you will separate the limb from the tree, apply the root tone per instructions and wrap with a good potting soil held in place by aluminum foil (sort of a bandage or a foot ball shaped container), poke a few pencil sized holes in the foil. Water daily for several weeks. After a few weeks open the foil and you should find new roots. Once you have new roots, clip the limb between the aluminum foil packet and the parent tree. Just plant the 'new' tree.

Good luck.
