Question: do cuttings of hazel ever root? I have a Harry Lauder's
walking stick that is badly afflicted with rootstock suckers and
I'd like to get a plant on its own roots. Would I be wasting my
time dibbling contorted cuttings into the soil? Remember, I only
need one to root...

Hi Rodger,

Suggested propagation of corkscrew hazel is by layering or removing rooted
suckers from the parent tree.

Cheers
