How can I get saskatoon clippings to make roots?
I have taken some clippings from a Sakatoon tree and would like them to make roots. I have put them in a container of water for now. What can I do to help them make roots so they can be planted in soil and make new saskatoon trees or bushes and produce fruit?

Buy some rooting hormone from any nursery or home improvement center. That should help!
Or make your own. If you have access to a willow tree give this a try since they all contain varying amounts of what you need to do this.
Boil 1 gallon of water and pour it over the willow stems or bark in a container large enough to hold the water plus the willow pieces. The willow needs to steep for 24 to 48 hours so the rooting hormone can be released into the water.
To remove the plant pieces, pour the mixture through a sieve or colander. Reserve the liquid, which now contains the rooting hormone, and store it in a lidded glass container. Chilled in the refrigerator, the hormone maintains its effectiveness for up to two months.
