Re: [Native Gardening] planting piece from tree

 

Thanks, Frank.  A node is the point on a plant's stem where the leaves are attached.  You would remove the leaf/leaves. Rooting hormone, if put on a node, will cause roots to form at that point, instead of another leaf.

Rooting hormone is a generic term for what maybe several different names but anyone with greenhouse expertise should be able to help you. Also April didn't point out that there are 2 types of cuttings, Hardwood and Softwood, Softwood being this years new growth which in many cases is easier to root. We abuse the land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.
