August: Toothpick Rooting Technique

I did lose a lot but I left the tags in place. I’m seeing movement on the Amelanchiers right now, only.

Next time I need to follow the directions and put them in a nearing house/cold greenhouse/hoophouse. I brought them right inside and stuck them immediately and have cared for them indoors and 6-weeks ago I took them to my greenhouse.

I didn’t expect firs or spruces or many of the things to root so there’s some of the losses. But I was quite surprised to see all the rhododendrons die. And easy to root Thuja (arborvitae) did not do well at all.

If the magic come from the induced callusing tissue on second year stem, why not just girdle the stem instead?

I hear ya.
