In order for root tone to work properly, you need to have a clean cut on a plant that is easy to root....fruit trees are not one of those plants. Even then is a gamble, but broken branch is not a good specimen to use. If you are interested in propagating fruit trees using root tone, then I would tell you to look up layering and air layering techniques. But that is a 6month+ project.

you left me a question about strawberries, was this met for someone else? I really could not answer for you, sorry!

What do you need? At a minimum you need a smoker, Bee suit, Bee gloves to be able to handle the bees. Then of course you will need bees, either a captured swarm or purchase packaged bees from a supplier and install them in the hive yourself. You need a source of water for them as well, a creek or river within 1/4 mile of you hive. If not then you must supply water to them near the hive.
