Re: propogating dogwoods

> What is the best way to propagate a Kousa dogwood from a cutting

Hi Mary Lou,

   Kousa dogwoods aren't supposed to be the easiest to root, but the
best success is achieved if you collect softwood cuttings in June.  
Dirr recommends using 1000ppm IBA-quick dip as a pretreatment, but you
can try it out with a commercially available rooting hormone as well.
Placing the cuttings under mist in a peat:perlite solution is your
best bet, but it can take 4 months before anything shows.  

On the other hand, seeds are easy to germinate, but take 3 months at
41 degrees F.
