hey there,
I’m new here, bought the book easy plant propagation because I want to start some hardwood cuttings. a little confused because on page 53, there’s a whole paragraph that says do not plant cuttings upside down, then on page 54 its underlined and in bold letters to plant the cuttings upside down lol. maybe I should look at a video. thanks for any help

Kels,
Let’s simplify this. There is an upside down method that is only used to store them for the winter and to get them to callous up. But you’re really better off just sticking the right side up either in the soil, or in a pot of potting soil. I’ve had great results either way. That’s when it’s important to make sure they are right side up because you are leaving them there. Here’s a video and thank you for buying the book.

Your donkeys are as entertaining as my goofy goats!
Could you pl;ease tell me about propagating shantung maple. I’m in north TX and we are just now getting some cold. Trees have been a deep scarlet –now turning yellow. Absolutely beautiful! I’m loving them and want one. . . or maybe a dozen!!
Would hardwood cuttings work with them?? Thank you so much for your advice and experience.

Brenda,
Shauntung maple are not likely to work from hardwood cuttings but will from softwoods or seeds. https://mikesbackyardnursery.com/2015/01/easy-summertime-plant-propagation-techniques-can-home/
