[IBC] Oak cuttings?
 

Can anyone tell me if oaks can be struck from cuttings, amd if
so at what
time of year & what type od cutting to take. I tried last year
to take
cuttings in winter of 1 year ols wood (before budding had
begun) but all
cutting failed to strike.

Looking through Dirr, I see no mention of cuttings under the
propagation headings for Quercus species. If I had to guess, I'd
say that hardwood cuttings would be difficult if not impossible,
while softwood cuttings might merely be difficult.

Oaks sprout readily from seed (acorns).

[IBC] Oak cuttings?
 

Oak cutting are supposed to be nealy impossible. I do
remember someone doing an experiment with wounding an
oak branch and forcling it to callus. It was then
easier to get the callus to grow roots. Unfortunately
I don not remember the details.
