That's some interesting stuff. Makes me wonder about trying to propagate regular apples on their own roots that way.

For shits and giggles I shoved a couple cut off pieces of ranetka crab into the soil today and put tubes on them. One I shoved in the "right way" and the other went in upside down.
I also shoved some cut off pieces of rootstocks into pots today, all of them upside down.
I'm guessing nothing will come of them, but hey...worth a shot.

Got me thinking I should try that with swamp crab. It looks like a good rootstock. Add any rooting hormone? Willow tea? |

Has anyone kept up with Brushpile? This sounds like something he would try.

Rooting hormone or willow tea sure wouldn't hurt anything. I didn't use either, but would have had I thought about it in advance.

I wonder if one should try damaging the branches a bit before burying them.
I have a crab very close to my garden. If i hit the roots with the rototiller, I often get new buds that reach towards the surface.
I am thinking of just the opposite, stimulate the former tops to create root growth.
