| I'd like to propagate my winterberry tree. When is the best time to take a cutting?
What type of cutting should I take? Also, I am attempting to air layer 2 of my pepper plants.
thanks in advance. :o) |

| ^Take cuttings of 2-4 inch firm new growth. (may also use hardwood cuttings taken in the fall) apply 0.3% IBA (rooting hormone) stick in well drained soil & mist takes 40-80 days to root. As for peppers why try they are so easy to grow from seed & will produce fruit as fast... |
