Default [IBC] Cedar Question: Can cedar trees grow roots from cuttings?

From the description it could also be a Japanese Cedar - Cryptomeria
japonica. This one is exceptionally easy from cuttings. I stick offcuts
in the ground when I trim plants and they often strike.

True cedars (Cedrus) are more difficult.

Try doing a Google image search for Cedrus, Cryptomeria and Juniperus to
compare the foliage.

Several trees are called "Cedar" and not all of them are. Can
you give us a better idea of which tree you are talking about?


Unfortunately I can't. The leaves look like those of a Juniper and the
trunk has a strong cedar smell. The wood is red in the center, and the
bark
is kind of flaky in sheets. Hope this helps...
