Cuttings

[Mr_Brushcutter]

Hi

I'd like to grow a few of these trees from cuttings. I've got access to all the species to take cuttings i was just wondering what the best methods are for doing it?

I've got a tray with a lid to prevent evaportation loss and it has a soil heating element, also i have some rooting powder. I'm looking to grow cuttings of Coast Redwood, Wellingtonia and Holm oak.

Thanks

Andy

An excellent book on the subject is The Reference Manual of Woody Plant Propagation by Michael A. Dirr & Charles W. Heuser Jr. Also see this thread :
