Re: cuttings

I mostly propagate Ceanothus arboreus, by tip/node cuttings, taken  around October time which I then expect to be rooted by spring, with bottom heat. Seems to work OK for other Ceanothus as well.   In our climate I very rarely take summer cuttings.

Cheers,

Gill

Gill,

 

Do you recommend any special kind of cutting such as a heel or or root or just straight nodes?  What time of year do you take the cuttings?  Ken Druse recommends fall cuttings but the DK propagation says mid-summer are much easier.

I find that they work best with some bottom heat and with each cutting in a separate small pot to avoid root disturbance when transplanting later.  Not the easiest of plants from cuttings.

Can I treat Ceonathus cuttings the same as rosemary cuttings or is there something special I ought to do?
