Wood Cuttings

[kHT]

Earlier this year I decided to add more trees to the yard and we love the ones we have so I took wood cuttings of the Golden Chain, Dogwood and Cherry! All appears to be fine but the Dogwood hasn't opened like the rest of the Dogwoods in the yard. Trying to be patient here!!

This fall I'll be trying the contorted hazelnut again, DH was upset I didn't do that one again. It seems two of them aren't enought!

Let's here you success stories on wood cuttings.

He wanted to plant some Azaleas because he has some really pretty ones. Several years ago, he made the mistake of moving some to the back yard for Joy so she could sit on her sun porch as see them. Unfortunately they all died over time. Not enough light OC thinks. So he was GOING to try o root some. Unfortunate that arctic freeze we had, looks like it might have KILLED them. They had just finishing blooming so OC didn't miss them. Planning to cut them back a good bit when we see how much if ruined. We had had a late April Freeze before, but not a whole week of 22* weather. The r\trees in my back yard had just leafed out and OC doesn't see a leaf on them. Sure hope they don't die.Let you know what happens

OC, we have them in a wide range from full sun to partial shade here. What colors do you have and are you interested in other cuttings?? I had a friend here this weekend and he urged me to take cuttings after he saw what I did. We have one azalea that is orange and low to the ground as it spreads.

Karma. Good luck with your wood cuttings. Have fun.

I hope your Azaleas make it OC.

I have a huge Wegelia that I started from a cutting from DMIL's. I also had a Corkscrew Willow that I started from a cutting from my neighbor in Illinois. Every Fall it would get broken off by wind or wildlife and it finally succumbed.
