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.

Hardwood cuttings with bottom heat: fall or spring rooting?

11 years ago

I was hoping to set up a propagation frame, filled with sand and heating cables, to root some tree and shrub cuttings in.

Long story short, it's almost set up, but now that it's Nov. I'm thinking of holding off on taking the cuttings until early spring instead. It would mostly be arbs, dogwoods, hazels, chokeberries, etc, stuff to plant for wildlife habitat.

Looking for input on whether or not waiting until spring is a better idea or not. Thanks!
