for example..if im walking down the street and see a nice tree..can i cut a branch and clone it? fruit trees? bushes? is there specific spots you need to cut certain plants or basically just cut a branch?

Dude I wanna know too, I was thinking about it when I saw plants outside.
but if we could clone everything wouldnt it be so much easier to save the rainforest?

i clone my wifes plants for her all sumemr, violets, long green things that run up the side of the house, fuck I do it for the fun of it and to see if i can do it. same thing with cannabis, cut it, dip it, and root it.

Very awesome.. I just don't recommend trying to clone something that isn't a plant... it doesn't work... even with rooting hormone D:

My girl clones the hell out of tomato plants. Way faster/hardier rooting than pot plants. I don't think we've paid for tomatoes in a long time.

yea i heard about the tomatos. i was more curious about plants. i want to make bonsais! (cant spell) i read you can clone junipers and ever green trees after i posted this!..and i guess trees clone better when you use a hard wood cutting..ima give it a try

There's at least one dwarf marijuana plant that can not be cloned. I red about it from a seed bank description, but forget the particular plant.

All pot plants can be cloned.

autos are not canidates good for cloning however they can be rooted

Most marijuana plants are easy to clone, others are not. In regards to 'other' plants if I remember correctly bananas pretty much now exist at the hand of man. They do not grow from seed but rather from new growth that protrude from the base. So while I'm not certain, but I think it would be difficult to 'take a cutting' from a banana and 'clone' it easily.
Among the other interesting tidbits learned was that banana trees are not even treestheyre the worlds largest perennial herbs. The distinction is not merely academic; the stems, which may appear to be solid trunks, are simply multiple layers of very large leaves that could be cut through with a regular knife. In fact, the stems often break under the weight of the bananas and need to be supported with poles.
Also surprising was that bananas grow upside down, seemingly showing contempt for gravity. Each plant has a flower shoot that produces a single bunch of bananasby bunch, I mean a set of about 15 subgroups called hands, for a grand total of about 200 banana fingers. On commercial banana plantations, each plants bunch is usually covered with a large plastic bag saturated with pesticides, to ward off both insects and birds.
Being Fruitful and Multiplying
Bananas also have an unusual life cycle. Normally, the primary reason for a plant to bear any sort of fruit in the first place is to propagate itself, since the fruit contains the seed. Modern, commercial strains of banana dont have seeds. (Well, they do, but theyre tiny and sterile, unlike wild and often inedible varieties of bananas, which have large and viable seeds.) Seedless fruit-bearing plants (think of navel oranges) normally propagate only with human helpas in transplanting cuttingsbecause the plant has no natural way to regenerate when it dies. Here again, bananas break the mold. Each banana plant produces just one bunch of fruit over its lifetime of about a year and then diesor at least appears to. But the stem above ground is just a portion of the plant, the so-called pseudostem. There is also an underground stem, called a rhizome, which produces new shoots at the base of the visible stem. These begin growing into new, flowering stems just as the old one is dying. The new plant, then, really isnt new at all, and is genetically identical to its predecessor.

ya man..and bananas are the only thing that can sustrain human life all on its own (no other foods need it)..people dont really even understand how they got here..cause like you said they dont produce seeds but they can be found ALLL over the world dating back thousands of years.

i always wanted to take one pot plant and stick lets say 5 different strands on it and bud 7 plants at once. and to add to the subject can bulb plants be cloned i belive the way to clone a tree is to wrap dirt around a limb of a tree and it will grow roots in the dirt then u cut the back half of the limb. i too was a clone whore and will be again just as soon as i can get a damn plants old enough.

u can not graft to a tomato plant. the only thing u can graft pot to is hops. there is an old article about this on here somewhere

Bought a gallon of clonex and cut my TV in half and dipped it into my bathtub, anyone have any clue how long I should wait before using nutes?
and should I harvest around 50 inches or so?

No not everything can be cloned. However you can clone some trees. Thats exactly what a bonsai tree is. A bonsai tree is a branch thats been cut and rooted a special way (the exact details of which I'm not sure of). They are then pruned in a stylized way making them look like miniature trees for which they came from.
