So you just cut them and stick them in the ground and then mulch them? How

Yes. I cut 18 inches segments, and make sure a few buds are above
ground. The mulch does two things here in MI: it retains moisture, and
it prevents a very hard freeze. The method works with other canes as
well, that is how I established a new raspberry row. But the point is,
it needs to be done under cool and moist conditions.


Oh, yeah, I should mention that I'm stealing these off a tree from the
backyard of an empty house that's for sale. I figure it's a free for all
on such things when the house has been empty for over a year. slight

In one year, that forsythia has gotten to the point where trimming is
needed. You should bill them.
