That’s really surprising to hear. They’re notorious for being difficult to transplant, so the idea of planting stems without roots hadn’t seemed like a viable option for me.

There was one in my green belt. I clipped it and stuck the stems right into the soil near by. 10 years later the only thing that pushes thru them occasionally is wild him blackberries. The cuts were during the wet season though.:point_left:

And your sure the spread was from pushing cuttings into the ground around the original plant and not from the spreading underground rhizomes? I’ll have to experiment.
