Please re-read my original post. I am NOT INTERESTED in PRUNING. I want to
do a simple cutting to root.

I would like very much for someone else to give me recommendations on
whether this can be done on an Eastern Snowball and still get blooms.
Thank you

For pruning
If you do not desire imposing extra injury to your tree or vine- I
highly
suggest
reading this book.
And do not use wound dressing.
Once you have read it you will be able to answer your own question.

You also would be wise to offer the tree other treatments that address
their
requirements.
This book would help someone understand many treatments.

Hi everyone, I have a dear friend who has always admired my Mom's
Eastern
snowball bush/tree. It is around 20 ft high and really loaded with
blooms
in
the springtime. I would like to try rooting a cutting for her as a
special
gift before we have to sell my Mom's house. Any special tips you can
give
me? Somewhere I read that they will be sterile and not produce blooms.
Any
thoughts?

Thanks,
