Takes a long time, but by spring, they are ready.<br /><br />I have also stuck them in a pot of soil with a plastic tent and rooted them under the lights any time of year....not always successful.<br /><br />I have to do something because I loose a rose or two every season to RRD! That or quit growing them at all.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-49470171776968976672009-12-23T11:24:32.541-05:002009-12-23T11:24:32.541-05:00David, I'm waiting until late February to stic...David, I'm waiting until late February to stick any hardwood cuttings. Last year I tried it earlier and lost many. Those done in early March leafed out and rooted...but none of the crape myrtles survived. For what others claim is an easy to propagate tree, I've had no luck. Maybe this year.Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-75989586212634187032009-12-23T11:15:02.218-05:002009-12-23T11:15:02.218-05:00so - is it time to take hardwood cuttings of the c...so - is it time to take hardwood cuttings of the crepe myrtles? from what i've read you cut them and stick them outdoors in good moist soil and then pray one survives.David - Pinewood Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352558343313743914noreply@blogger.com
