Hey again,
I live in South Africa, and we had a really hot winter. I took cuttings
from
three different trees at three different times.
1. Acaia sp. I took in the fall. (May)
2. Milkwood tree. I took mid winter. (July)
3. Peach tree. I took about two weeks back.
Now, all except the fruit trees seem to have died. My trees stand outside,
my cuttings in a semi shaded area. My trees get more sun than my cuttings.
I
put saucers beneath the pots so the soil won't go too dry. The thorn trees
seems the 'deadest' of all. I tested for flexibility and it broke right
off.
So I just left it and hoped it was only the one, but I pulled another from
the soil and it looked wrotted.
The other two I haven't touched because it might be too soon. Obviously the
peach tree looks sovar the best. The cuttings are still green at least. The
milkwood tree's cuttings are a browny green now, but I am too scared to
pull
one out to see what's going on.
Need more info?
Thanx,
Adam.

You have to do a little research for the specie you desire to take
cuttings. Each tree has a different time of the year for taking
cuttings. The only one that I can think of that cuttings can be taken
almost anytime is a Serissa! Do I hear laughing????? :-D

Hey,
Took a few hardwood cuttings, did the whole hormone powder thingy, and
planted it in loose soil. Watered them regularly and even misted them a
few
times. They were standing outside. None of them rooted!
Question: What did I do wrong?
