Default [IBC] Cuttings from woody plants

How long will the cuttings take to root?. Couple weeks ago,
there was a
Bonsai show at my local botanical garden here in So. Redondo

Beach, and the
speaker was using a cork tree. I took some cuttings(8) from

him and I have
it in a pot now, waiting for roots to come. He did tell me it

will take
some time. I didn't use any rooting hormone, but you say I'll

be ok...so
what about the watering. Is it the same, wait till its dry or

do I keep it
moist. Your answers are greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.


What is a cork tree? I have no idea how long, whether, or how
well cork trees root from cuttings. "Some time" could be as long
as 4-5 months if it is a slow rooter. And some plants NEED
rooting hormone. My earlier comment was for boxwood.
