X- Large cuttings are 8-10 inches long, and can be planted this length in the field or cut in half above a bud if planting in containers to yield double the number of trees.
Cuttings can be rooted any time of year.
In late winter and early spring can be planted this length in the field or cut in half above a bud if planting in containers to yield double the number of trees. You do not need a rooting hormone. Can be immediately planted by simply pushing cutting into moist soil so that all but one bud is covered. Water to keep cutting moist until it is rooted (usually 3-4 weeks)...then water weekly. In late Spring and summer simply put the cuttings in several inches of water to root before planting. Complete instructions with order.
