How easy is it to root the cuttings?
I have a quince that I put in the ground. Hopefully I will see it again in spring.

These came from Brent at Evergreen Gardenworks. I've not really tried to propagate much...I've only done cuttings from my Nippon Daisy chrysanthemum. Because of wanting to keep my collection manageable.

Very easy in my experience, I took 2-3" hardened shoots stuck in fine soil (think it was June) misted them whenever I walked by maybe 2-3 times a day, think I only lost one out 15.

Mike, were these Chojubai as well?

Yes chojubai, but red not white, interestingly the first time I tried 3 years ago I used rooting hormone, and they did not take. this time I used nothing, just stuck into fine pumice and regular potting soil 50\50

Thanks I will give it a shot this summer

Thank you. That old age saying take mediocre material and clump it together. *I also have a love of clump cascade.

I have a similar one that consists of several suckers that I allowed to sprout. I like the way you did a gradual cascade on the right side. Think I'll do the same with mine.

Sounds like a great direction to take with it! One of my favorite styles using a clump.

This is looking great @Cadillactaste

Love the unglazed, but ornate container. Can’t wait to see it in bloom!

Thanks...Sadly, it blooms while in the cold greenhouse. I've never brought it in to enjoy. I will try and remember to grab a shot when it does.
