Hi Marc,

Thanks. And I hope you don't mind a few more questions.

What should the length of the cuttings be? How do you tell which part is
semi-ripe? N. domestica is so woody that even the tip is fibrous and tough
(and very hard to cut too). And yet, paradoxically, it rots so easily.

BTW, can anybody tell me if air-layering is an option?
