My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Damson plum prunings

14 years ago

Re potted 2 Damson plums today. The trees are only about 5 1/2' tall, but I do not have a permanent residence yet so I haven"t planted them. Took the time to prune a few limbs as well. I have 5 cutoffs between 22" and 32" long. Can I put them in water and see if they will put out roots? If so, how much do I want in the water, and what is the max length I should use? Thanks!
