Thanks Brent for your much valued input. Your reading and experience all
fit with my (small scale) successes.

A couple of things I would add for those just starting out in this.
Timing is one of the most critical aspects for most cuttings. Though
successes may be had at other times of year, taking them at the optimum
time really increases the chances of a good strike rate. Good shrub and
tree books should have a section on propagation and timings for many
species can be found in these.

As well as being fraught with problems it is still great fun and a very
satisfying way of increasing stocks of suitable specimens.

Cheers
