writes: I have a bougy thats been blooming all season very well and has gotten an "un-kempt" look about it. Is it to late to do some fairly heavy pruning? Since you will have to protect it from cold all winter I don't think it matters much when you prune. However, unless you can provide a lot of light it will get leggy over winter.. How far will they bud back? In my experience here it will bud back if you cut to one inch. And finally can I try and root the cuttings, and whats the best method to use on them. I dip in rooting hormone and stick in pure vermiculite.

I live in NY and I have this Bougy that I developed from a cutting 15 years
ago. I have to treat this tree as a tropical and keep it indorrs over the winter. I have no problems rooting cuttings, and that is something I cannot say too often. I have gotten roots on cutting that I just put in water or in potting mix.
