[IBC] Suckers as cuttings
I know during normal growth you want to remove any suckers from your plants. But if you have a yard tree that produces new suckers continuously, can those same suckers be used as cuttings for propogation purposes?

Neal YES, they sure can, but ONLY IF the plants are not grafted, otherwise you are simply propagating the understock, which could have totally different characteristics. It could even be a different species.

those same suckers be used as cuttings for propagation purposes? Sure, if you want a bonsai that produces suckers continuously. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "If we see light at the end of the tunnel, It's the light of the oncoming train." Robert Lowell (1917-1977) |
