large brugs with several stems

18 years ago

I am getting ready to dig my three brugs and bring in for winter. They each have two or three stalks coming out of the ground. So the root ball must be quite large. In the past we have put in pots and stored in basement, cool and little light. I am thinking about cutting a stalk off at ground level, pruning quite a bit and rooting in soil or water. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks.

I'd root the big ones in water. They are fast to root but I usually leave them in water until spring. When you dig up your plant it's not necessary to take a huge rootball. They do just as well with a fairly small one after you prune back the soft green stems and strip the foliage.

gardengal70, I agree root one in water until the nubs show then put into dirt. If you aren't experienced I wouldn't recommend just cutting into the rootball to obtain a rooted plant. There are certain things one need to look for when doing this and understanding what to expect.
