Propagation by cuttings 2
This photograph shows hardwood cuttings collected and ready for preparation by the propagator.
This shows the Dutch roll in preparation with the 2 cm soil on the black plastic.
The hardwood cuttings are placed approximately 2 cm apart at about halfway on the compost.
This photograph shows the very tight rolling of the Dutch roll.
The Dutch roll is tied securely. A plant label is also tied on at this stage.
The finished Dutch roll complete with label. This can be placed in a north cold frame from November to March. It is important, however to protect from vermin especially in cold winters. No watering should be necessary over this period. In March/April there should be a callus developed at the base of the cutting.
