At what time of year is best to propagate Juniper cuttings to start new
trees?

My favorite time of the year to start juniper cuttings is just about now,
March actually. There is an old propagator's saying, "In by March, rooted
by July". Take cuttings of last years new growth with just a touch of brown
bark at the base. Hormone strength varies with the species. Keep them cool,
moist, and in the shade. Bottom heat speeds the process but is not essential.
