Hardwood Cuttings

If you are pruning roses, wisterias, hydrangeas, grape vines, in fact any tree or shrub that has lost its leaves use these as hardwood cuttings.

They may look like a dead stick in a pot but the success rate of these cuttings is usually good, they form their roots within 6 months.

Make the cuttings 20 cm long approximately with 3 buds and cut just under the lower pot, stick them in a pot and they will grow.
