berberis propagation
 

my wonderful thorny berberis has a lot of new growth. I'd like to propagate
it and eventually make it into a hedge. Does anyone know how? Do I just chop
bits off and poke them into the ground and wait for them to root, or is
there more technique involved?
thanks
Ginny

Pots of sharp sand are better, and some bottom heat may help, but
you have it right. However, the deciduous berberis are right
beggars to propagate.

thanx, I'll have a go. I don't think this plant decids
