I'm curious if anyone has had success with rooting Pummelo budwood?(or any other budwood for that matter) I'm ordering directly from CCPP early release. There's a new variety called Valentine Pummelo Hybrid - very interesting sweet blood colored hybrid. I am aware they they will have no leaves and it will be much more difficult to root than normal cuttings. thanks for any feedback.

Your best bet with a bare budstick is rooting gel & high humidity.

When I root a bare bud stick, I wrap the entire stick (except the portion that will be in the rooting medium) with parafilm pudding tape, and root in high humidity. There is a tutorial by Joe Real showing this method on this forum. - Millet (1,055-)

What is your failure ratio, it never occured to be to try rooting budwood.

60 70 percent. The parafilm wrapping greatly reduces moisture loss from the bud stick. Actually, what would be better is remove a bud and T-bud it onto a root stock, and then root the cutting. This way you get 2 for 1-. Millet (1,054-)
