A couple of pics
As a proud papa, I wanted to share a pic of my cutting of Aloha, the
first successful (so far) of 4 attempts: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/ddweil2/AlohaCutting.jpg When should I transplant this into its final location? How long should the new growth be? It's under a forsythia at the moment and is in almost compete shade. I'm thinking that it will need sun pretty soon... And then, a possible solution to my Don Juan in the dead crabapple tree situation: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/ddweil...dCrabapple.jpg I noticed that I had a really long cane on Old Blush and it's actually less than two feet away from the tree. So, I might be able to get it to grow into the top of the tree which would compliment the Don Juans growing from underneath. Not only that, I might be able to create a natural canopy by training addtional long canes along this cane. |

I like to wait until I see real legitimate new growth. That means a good couple of inches of active growth. A cutting can sprout new growth and even flower buds and still not have roots, but the growth will usually hit a deadend. It's easy to jump the gun. |

The cutting looks very healthy, and it's good sized. Patience. I have a green cutting from last....July!!!!! No new growth, no roots visible out the drain hole. I just keep watering it. One year it'll turn black and die or else grow a new basal. :) I think we're often instructed to use wood that is too small. This winter I rooted a honkin' 2 footer (stuck on Jan. 31, just finished blooming and shooting a 2 foot basal), so now I'm taking different sized cuttings, some much larger than I used to take. Good luck. |
