Dogwood time?

[bigboreblr]

Whats a good time to collect dogwood cuttings. I pruned some mulberry yesterday and I m using the cuttings to propagate like dogwood. Might as well get some dogwood while I'm at it.

Speaking of dogwoods, what's that nice yellow to orange wood variety I see sometimes on swamp edges?

We're going to be cutting wood tomorrow and Monday, it will be 22-30*. While cutting we'll also take gray and silky dogwood cuttings.

I plan to start the silky in water and the gray dipped in rooting hormone then in sphagnum and perlite.

My wife does garden starts on small three step rolling work carts. I'm going to tent one of them to make a mini greenhouse for the cuttings. I'll park it between the water heater and furnace under the heat pipes from our outside boiler to keep it warm and humid.

I'm hoping they will be able to leave the cart before my wife wants it back.
