Wulfskaar's Liquidambars (Sweetgum) from seeds

Have you ever tried cuttings? Are they possible?

Have you ever tried cuttings? Are they possible?

No, I haven't. I've had very bad luck with all the cuttings I've ever done, with the exception of JBP seedlings. I have so many sweet gum seedlings popping up in my yard every year that I just don't need to try cuttings.

Here in middle GA, we have more sweetgum than we know what to do with as well. I just wired one that volunteered in the back garden bed where it grew this year. I may try to transplant it (though legginess for this one may prevent me from fooling with it further).

Next year, I’m gonna try your gumball thumping technique and see if I can trick one into rooting.

The color change has been pretty interesting this year.
