Propagating conifers
"Ivan" wrote in message ... Has anyone ever successfully rooted coniferous branches by layering them? I have three excellent pine specimens. Each of them need to have their bottom branches pruned. The trees are about 8 feet tall. If I'm going to prune them anyway I'm wondering if I should try layering them. Ivan in the Canadian Prairies. ------------------------- I have never heard of layering to propagate conifers. Seeds are easy enough though some dislike transplanting. Named varieties are propagated by grafting or cuttings. Metasequoia and Leyland must be propagated by cuttings as there are no seeds available. Sorry not to be more helpful.

Bonsai growers use this propagation technique, AFAIK. |
