I have some holly bushes that I'd like to propagate.

How and when can I do that?


Thanks



You might be successful taking hardwood cuttings, but my father showed
me another way. Dig a trench about 2-3" deep, a foot or two long,
pull down a limb into the trench, make a few scratches into the bark,
weight with a stone, and cover it up. Do 3 or 4 branches. The
next year check for roots then relocate the rooted branch to a
prepared hole in a sunny area. I found this method to be 70-80%
successful.
