Propagation – Hardwood

Course 20 |

Surely
you can’t take cuttings in winter? Oh, yes you can
and you don’t need a greenhouse either.
Hardwood cuttings are one of the easiest ways to propagate
many trees, shrubs – and roses.
Root cuttings enable you to propagate many plants that
can be tricky by other methods – and they’re
fun to do.
We will demonstrate how simply these cuttings can be made
and struck.
