soft or hard wood cuttings? oh i blew up photo all hardwood it looks like? when did you take the cuttings?
I dont think its that high, Im guessing closer to 50%, its really strange because I handled all of my cuttings the same but ive got a few trays with 0 survivors, and some other trays with almost all of them that took, I think part of it might be how I mixed my soil, I combined sand, potting soil with no nutrients, potting soil with time release nutrients that was like a year old and pine bark chips and I mixed them with a shovel but I might have been lazy and not mixed well enough or something. I think the soil with fertilizer can get hot if it sits for a year maybe, not sure but thats all I can think of for my sporadic results. I should probably eliminate that if I try again, but I bought like 40 bags of it dirt cheap last year on clearance, at about $2/bag, where the good starting soil is $25/bag that a local nursery uses.

they were hard, cuttings were taken before they started pushing buds this spring, when there was still snow on the ground, I dont remember the exact date tho.
