One could say the most pretty tree is the Colorado blue spruce or the
Concolor Fir. As the old adage goes -- "spruce up the looks of the
house".

Well out of my 175 Rock Elm seeds only 4 made it and are doing well,
provided can keep the grasshoppers from devouring them. But my cuttings
of Rock Elm all failed.

In their place I have blue spruce going in that greenhouse setting. I
used root hormone and am misting several times a day. If none of them
make it, it will be my last attempt on blue spruce. And I will conclude
that some species are just too difficult to root via cuttings for which
I do not have the time.

Now this year I had a beautiful blood red lilly growing. Does anyone
know if lillies are good cutting-propagation plants? How about
honeylocust? How about black-walnuts? How about sour cherries? Are any
of these easier to cutting-propagate. Perhaps none as easy as Willows,
but at least easier than elm or blue spruce.
