Its come to the time of year when I must get them rootstocks growing for next year, its a bit late for some species. But anyhow.<\/p>\n

The hardwood cuttings have been stored in a damp bin outside, and free to all the elements. In fact this bundle of cuttings still has ice attached to them.<\/p>\n

These cuttings are cherry, and already have signs of them rooting.<\/p>\n

These are to go into a open topped heated bin. To prevent the cuttings from drying out, you need to cover the tops up, with plastic bags or cling film.<\/p>\n

Then its just stand them up into the open topped, bottom heated bin for approx 3 weeks. Put some very slightly damp compost around them, and maintain approx 20 deg C at soil level. They do not need excessive amounts of watering, as rot soon sets in, only enough to very slightly dampen the compost media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
