I tried my first propagations from cuttings yesterday. I cut some new growth off Carolina Cherry Laurel and direct planted about 30 to form a screen. I used the rooting hormone I bought off Amazon. This is listed online as an easy propagation, so we will see. They will get absolutely no love, just rain and the rooting hormone I used.

Same. Only one or two nodes above the soil. Tall, thin pots work best.

Anybody have a rooting hormone that they recommend?? I've spent $20 on worse things so I'd like to try one. Never used one before.

Wish you would all stop coming up with stuff for me try.
Got a row of giant green arborvitae in my yard. Had to give it whirl.
There are drain holes in the bottom. The water hasn't drained all the way in the pic.

Thats a party foul in the horseshoe pit......
I picked up the state nursery trees from the local soil and water district. I was supposed to be planting up at camp, but had to work for a sick coworker today.
This was a good year to buy from both entities. Witchazel $25 for 25 had tons of roots. Pussy willows for the same price looked good. Planted 18 at home and keeping 7 for camp. Did the opposite with witchazel, but havent planted the 7 at home yet. White pine and white spruce were $25 for 10. Pine had tons of roots and over 2ft tall with lower braches too. Dogwood was $21 for 10. Planted all of them o the edge of my swamp at home.
You save some money planting your own, but you buy time with quality plants.
I shot a deer about 5 years ago on a place the local soil and water district planted maybe 10 years ago. Also pheasant hunted a spot or two they spruced up with plantings, so I kind of consider it donating to the cause.
They had local lawn / leaf compost 5 big bags for $20. I thought that was pretty good compared to the local big box store.
I want to see last years silky dogwood wake up at camp. Was there 2 weeks ago, they were still sleeping. Looked at weather historically in the area, this past winter was only -18 deg F. Probably will look ok. Tempted to put some sticks in a bag of soil this year again.
This past year folks are hurting more for money. Interest rates were n't great either for land. Guessing trees nurseries did not have a great year. Saw alot of tree sales when places would normally be sold out.

Mine are still where I put them. I wonder what another summer where they are would do? Might get root bound. I’ll have to separate some and see how much root Growth I got. I did have about 20 or so turn brown last summer. Zero roots on those ones.

Saw the same around here. Nurseries and L&G centers are sending out mailings and e-mail notices for extensive sales. Done it several times with few takers.
