I forwent the use of rooting horomone, just 'cause. I clipped the whips in late March, and stuck them directly in pots with soil. Kept them moist and inside my home. The leaves emerged from the buds immediately, but quickly died away - the plants were doomed. When I pulled them from the pot, roughly one month after planting, no roots had formed. I'm new to this business, but I think hardwoods are better propagated in fall, so the roots have time to establish before the leaves and flowers emerge from the buds. *Dave in Dartmouth* David Simpson (902) 580 8007 david.sonsimp@gmail.com On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 12:46 PM, nancy dowd <nancypdowd@gmail.com> wrote: > I am wondering if anyone has tried this and has any helpful advice.
