I have read about using leaf cuttings, but have only tried it once and
failed. I really don't remember the reference but I will continue to
search
and, I will try the method again.

I am also curious about propagation of aplines from seed. I have treated
my
seeds from the NARGS in moist sand in the refer for 4-8 wks. I remove
them,
sow the sand and seed mix and cover them with grit (Chicken or turkey)
and
wait.

Now my question, if they don't germinate can I place them in a cool spot
outside and maybe next year they will go through the same cycle
outdoors?
Any chances?
