[IBC] pine propagation
I have a lovely black pine cultivar called Manshoho
that has very short needles. Later I will post a picture of the one I developed under 6 inches in height. The second of these is in the ground. I want to style it eventually, but I do want to see if it can be propagated first. I will try some grafts this fall. The plant has not tried to bloom and set cones, so no seeds, also at 62 I don't think I want to do seeds! I want to know if anyone has had success in either airlayering or pine cuttings. This being a yatsabusa variety, I am hoping it will be easier to root. (I did root a cork pine from candle cuttings, but that took 3 years.) What methods did you use? I don't have a greenhouse or a misting system. I inherited some deep plastic tubs from work. I was thinking of drilling holes in the bottom and using woodshavings/manure to create bottom heat, then pearlite and peat as the mix above that. (I find pearlite to not be as cold to the touch as say sand). I could then put a clear plastic top over this creating a terrarium. Any ideas?
