You take hardwood cuttings in winter when plants have gone dormant. Plant them the right way up, and by spring, they’ll come to life and begin growing their own roots!
If your winters are mild, you can just push the cuttings into the soil outside. But for a better chance at growth, it’s wise to plant them in pots or containers like these seed snails (aka seed rolls).
Give the cuttings about 4-6 months, and they’ll have grown healthy roots. You can then transplant them on.
This method works for a lot of shrubby plants, including elderberries, red currants, black currants, roses, gooseberries, thornless blackberries, raspberries, and even blueberries.
It’s an exciting way to create plants for free and fill your garden on a budget. Make sure to bookmark this idea for later 🔖
