    Looking into propagating my lemon tree thru marcotting. Is soil ok to use or is moss recommended? Any limit like how many branches should be used? How would I know which branch is best?

    Thank goodness, you asked this. I’ve been wanting to marcot several fruit trees here in the tropical region. My idea was just to do 2-3 branches per tree just to make sure at least 1 might work if all else don’t. Moss is usually used here and I believe it’s better at keeping moisture so more chances of growing roots. Any limit per branch or which is best – sorry I don’t have the answer. Like you, Hoo, I’d be very interested in reading some comments here.
