| My mother wants a list of all plants that can be rooted from a cutting. Quite frankly, I believe she wants to know if she can steal off something from my garden. Through my research I have compiled this list: Rose Most of these I have & do intend on propagating to fill out my garden. I have been told willow trees & other types of trees can be rooted from cuttings. I'm not sure how reliable it is to propagate trees from cuttings. Are there any more plants for me to add to this list? Any fruit producing ones perhaps (other than passion flower)? |

| willow would be a lot easier than most on your list.. go buy mom.. michael dirr's compendium on propagation.. AND THEN BORROW IT FROM HER ... lol anything is possible.... many you list.. the odds of success.. sans propagation chambers.. and serious chemicals is low to nil ... ivy should be easy.. bleeding heart comes up from seed ... rose is possible.. but not probable ... though i gave up long before the WWW and some it would be much easier to lift the whole.. and slice off a division or two .... and throw momma back in the hole ... rooting would be the hard way to do it ... and dont screw mom.. lol .. ken |

| Well.....from my own experience here are perennials I can usually root fairly easily from cuttings in an outdoor exposed sandbox with intermittent mist. I'd say I have 80% - 100% success rate for everything on this list. Sorry I can't help you on more fruiting plants: Weigelia Good luck with your propagation (and Mom). |

| Wow, just too many to list. I like the "The Reference Manual of Woody Plant Propagation: From Seed to Tissue Culture" (guess that was the one Ken meant) by Dirr idea, and the borrowing it back idea, at least for woody plants. You mentioned Datura, and, like Brugmansia, they are very easy to propagate from cuttings. |

| I'm glad to learn that Datura have cuttings taken from them. I'm currently growing some from seed, & it has not been a smooth journey. Another quick question for every body: there is a magnolia growing in our woods that has multiple suckers. Some have rooted themselves, the rest are just growing into saplings. I have dug up the one who have rooted & planted in my yard with success. Would it still root if I just cut one of the suckers that has not rooted. I believe it would work. As far as my mother goes, she thinks she owns everything I own. |

| it would be easier.. to scar it while still attached to mom.. add some rooting compound.. and place a big rock over it.. and then.. come back in fall.. when it roots.. and move it then ... let mom the plant do the work .... there is a GW search function .. i swear this topic was covered in either annuals/perennial forum in the last few months .... i gave her dirr's name.. she can google titles as easily as i can ... but brandon is right.. and i am sounding way crabbier than i mean to.. so forgive me.. its time to sign off the interweb... just keep trying ... ken |
