In my search for alders which will bear seeds which could be used as a
cereal crop, I have found trees which are steps on the way in other
directions, for example trees which have whole branches which carry no
leaves but lots of cones.

So, I have tried to take cuttings of these trees. But alder doesn't
take cuttings easily. Not like willows!

Can anybody advise me on how to take cuttings of alder?
