Re: Solicitation


Not much information on propagation of this species is to be found on the
web.  Following is what I've come up with.

From Cultivation Notes on Gardenbed.com for the species:
http://gardenbed.com/c/1317.cfm

" Cuttings of almost ripe wood, September in a frost-proof frame[1].
April/May is the best time to take cuttings[113]."

From UCDavis Propagation Database:

From Botany.com
http://www.botany.com/cupressus.html

" Hybrids should be increased by inserting cuttings of short shoots, 2 to 4
inches in length, in a propagating case in a warm greenhouse. They may also
be grafted onto seedlings of their respective types, which were previously
established in pots. "

There may be additional data out there, but a search using multiple search
engines did not turn up anything for this particular cultivar.
