How to take Hardwood Cuttings - Winter 2023
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 02. 2023
- I take hardwood cuttings from various flowering shrubs and show where to cut them, what soil to use and where to store them. I then show examples and the results of the hardwood cuttings I took a year ago.
My English Garden is near the coast in North West England, 1/3 of an acre (including the house) Zone 9a with sandy soil.

…. puts cup of tea down, & goes off into garden to look for suitable cuttings!! 😂 … thank you Paul!
Brilliant! Just the effect I wanted. 👍😀
Very nice tutorial Paul T. Love that you told us which bird was making that sound. You’ve inspired me to take some cuttings. Have a great week in the garden.
Thank you Mieko, I am really pleased you are now going to do some cuttings - good luck!
👋GREETINGS PAUL,WE MUCH APPRECIATE YOU SHARING ALL OF YOUR WISDOM AND EXPERIENCE WITH US 🤗💚💚💚
Good morning and thank you, glad you liked my video. 🌻
@@paultsworld ALWAYS A DELITE 🤗😊💚💚💚
Thank you! 👍☀️
Thank you so much for your detailed and easy to follow instructions! My neighbor removed an overgrown weigela that was too close to my house and root cellar doors. But it had been such a beautiful bush the hummingbirds and honey bees loved! So before he hauled it away I got some cuttings and I’m going to try to propagate some new plants for myself and my neighbors wife.
Well done for having the presence of mind to take the cuttings before it disappeared.
I hope you have success, weigelas do take well so you stand a good chance.
Loved the video! Great money saver. Thank you!
Thank you - it's appreciated.
I'm not surprised that such professional cuttings take root in no time at all :-)
We’ll see - the proof is in the pudding!
Thank you, that was very helpful. (Loved the bird ID subtitle too.)
Thank you - I’ll be taking another set of cuttings next month. (Late February)
Thank you for sharing how to start from cuttings 👍❤️🙏😊
You’re welcome Khay. 👍
Excellent video Paul 🥰
Thank you Jasmine. 🌸
👍✨Very useful, thank you.
You’re welcome 👍
Thank you! Detailed instructions… didn’t know about the two nodes below soil. I’ve been trying to propagate a 20-year old rose. This method might just work😊
Thank you. Roses can do well as a hardwood cutting. Cover all bases as I did and it should happen for you. Good luck. 👍
Great video. thank you for the demonstration.
Thank you - it's appreciated
Hi Paul . Well done . I mix honey and ground cinnamon and l put alittle on the cut stem and plant it and it will grow successfully. Have anice day .
Hi Lina, that sounds an interesting mix - I am sure you have a lot of success with it 👍🌻
Thanks for sharing I’ll give it a try 👍🏼
It’s very satisfying and not much work .
Very informative!! Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thank you Paul, that was very informative and also inspiring. I shall be out with the secateurs tomorrow!
That’s great to hear Damien - we can all compare notes in the Summer!
merci pour ces bons conseils Paul !
Avec plaisir Roger.
Good afternoon Paul!
Love it, propagating our belove woody plants. Such soothing sounds in your beautiful garden!
Absolutely Maria - deciduous shrubs are my favourite plants. Glad you enjoyed the birdsong, they are all starting to claim their territories and a mate.
So useful, thank you!
Glad you liked the video!
hiya, Paul. I have just gone out and taken some cuttings so fingers crossed. Thanks for sharing another great video
Hi Joanna, great you’ve taken some cuttings - let’s hope for some success later in the year! We’ll all have to compare notes 🌻
Thank you Paul. I’ll definitely have a go, I’ve never done hardwood cuttings.
Always exciting to try something new Lil. Let me know how it goes.
Hello, Paul! Yes, Spring is just around the corner, even if in Italy it seems already spring! Another dry and sunny winter in Milan!
As always a so nice, interesting and very helpful content, my friend. Can't wait the time to admire your garden in springtime!! HUGS and all the very best to you! Renata
Good evening Renata, you've had a great Winter in Milan - lots of sunny weather! Here it's nice as well and many plants think it's Spring - me too. lol.
@@paultsworld Waiting for Springtime and all the best, Paul!
I sure do love an experiment, really interested in seeing how these cuttings do. I'll give it a go, when I move I'll have some to take with me.
These are a case of ‘nothing to lose’ and so low maintenance. They can stay in those pots a long time. Good luck.
Excellent video, as usual :)
Thank you! 🌻
Hello Paul, Thankyou for the video. I have never done hardwood cuttings.... BUT I WILL NOW ! I have my variegated weigela that I will chop chop in winter! I LOVE propagating, I love free plants. I am a visual learner and you are a good teacher. Thankyou. I will update you on our crazy season: hot and humid the last 3 days. 29 deg C today. At 2.30pm a massive thunderstorm with hail and winds came through and dropped the temp to 8 deg C. We no longer have summer veg. All shrubs and trees are shredded. No use getting upset, these things happen. Happy update: UK holiday plans continue after Hampton Court and Kew : Churchill War Rooms, Cotswolds day tour, Oxford, Sussex maybe Wakehurst. So looking forward to it. Enjoy your early autumn weather and time in the garden M🌱
Hi Margaret, I’m pleased you are going to try these hardwood cuttings - you will end up with a dozen variegated weigelas!!
That’s a real topsy turvy Summer/Autumn you are having. So sorry to hear the hail has shredded many plants.
But great to hear your English holiday is progressing - sounds a great trip!
I hope so! I look forward to your update on how many you strike.
@@margaretmichelsen766 no pressure then lol.
I have waited for this video a very long time😄
I am currently taking cuttings from my lavender plants and bubbleja.
And a neighbour of my parents-in-laws has Flowering Current in their garde that I would like cuttings from.
I have always loved the smell and look of the flowers.
I'm eager in taking cuttings now, because we just sold our house and will be moving next month to our new home with bigger garden.
One of the first things I do to the new garden, will be creating a wildlife pond🥰💙
I'm still very new to gardening and taking succesful cuttings in particular.
And in propagating plants from seed as well.
I will invest this spring in a heating mat, and a tray with small plugs with watering holes.
I will try to fill out my new garden, with as much cuttings and seedlings as possible.
Also to save money in the long run and to bond with my plants.
You are propagating some lovely plants.
See if there are any buddleia seedlings near your plant.
What I like about flowering current is they are one of the very first shrubs to flower in Spring.
When you take hardwood cuttings - take lots of them in different pots and soils - more than I did. Not many will be successful so spread the risk.
How exciting getting a new larger garden!
Once you get the hang of propagation you will soon have plenty of your favourite plants and shrubs.
Good luck - let me know how your new garden is progressing during the coming years. 🌻
@@paultsworld I will check tomorrow, but I'm not sure if nanho blue will set seed or if there are any seedlings after two full seasons. I will try different soils for the hardwood cuttings.
I will film and create a video soon where I will film the old and new garden. A kind of exciting announcement for the channel.
And I filmed some spring flowers last week, that I'm hoping to edit soon to.
And a monstrous long video of an early autumn walk with me video, of the forest strip area near our current home from last year😅 Maybe I will complete and upload it by this year's fall.
@@titiaswildlifecottagegarden How exciting the new garden and you are filming it from the start. Good luck with your channel and garden.
Very nice video how to make hardwood cuttings.
Thank you!
Great reminder Paul T. I am going to start my cuttings this weekend after major pruning of various shrubs as of late. Thanks for the lessons.
Hi AJ, good time to do the hard wood cuttings - however it’s been so warm here in England this February that many of the shrubs have started growing! Lots of leaves about so it’s now too late for us with most shrubs. The paniculatas are still dormant though.
Good luck with the results. 👍
It has been an El Nino over here so we are dealing with the same. Fingers Crossed!@@paultsworld
Very informative video. Propagation has always been a mystery to me. I am not a very patient person with plants so have always patronized our garden centers for established ones. Does look simple enough to try.
Best way to deal with these hardwood cuttings - do them now - stick them in a forgotten corner of the garden, directly in the ground - and forget all about them. One of two things will happen ...they'll die and whither or in a year's time you'll wonder where those lovely young shrubs came from!
Go for it Doreen!
Thank you for showing us what to do Paul. I can tell that you've been very successful with your previous cuttings. Isn't it frustrating when so called permanent ink pens aren't? I can tell that you are enjoying being in your garden and I too have been taking advantage of the beautiful weather. Everything is bouncing back but I hope the cold snap that's been forecast doesn't do any damage.
Yes, I so need a new marker pen!!!
The weather has been fabulous for gardening - it’s almost too dry for my dandy soul- err, I mean sandy soil 😀
Very informative. I just found this video . I have just taken sambucus nigra hardwood cuttings. It may be a bit late as spring has started in zone 8 but I will see if I can keep it wet through summer or else try again nexr winter.
Nice epiisode😊
The sambucus should take quite readily - certainly worth trying now. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for identifying bird song. I love hearing them, it will be months before we have sounds like that where I live. In the meantime, you've inspired me to start some cuttings today. Is that a rain barrel with a spigot? 🌳🎋 Thank you so much for your channel!
So pleased you enjoy the birdsong Colleen - you’ll have to let me know how your cuttings do. 🌻
We are watching your videos, most entertaining. Somewhat jealous, most won't grow in our patch, Sault Ste. Marie Ontario, Canada. We can dream though.
Thank you - glad you enjoy the videos. I am sure you have some pretty nice Summer temperatures!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
Thanks for the video! If I leave the cuttings inside will they be ready sooner? I cut weigela today zone 4b usa and wanted to be able to plant them out this coming slring if possible.
That’s a really interesting question!
Zone 4b is way colder than I’ve experienced.
I think the best plan is to take a number of cuttings and deal with then differently.
Traditionally in Britain we plant out the cuttings straight away in free draining soil. So how about you trying that with some of them. The rest you could split into at least two pots - one left outside in a sheltered position against the wall of your house and then the third pot inside in a cold place - perhaps the garage- but don’t let them dry out if they’re not getting rain or snow.
Generally hardwood cuttings get their roots and can be repotted by the following Autumn. They won’t have much of a root system by the Spring.- they may have some new leaves but the roots take a while.
Hope that helps - good luck.
Hi Paul, I have tried three times to propagate our Rhododendrum bush, I even watched CZcams videos on how to do it. It has never worked 🥲. It’s so annoying lol. After watching your video I may give it another go, you make it look easy. :)
Hi Sue - you’ve got a tough one there rhododendron!
Try the hardwood cutting - nothing to lose (maybe the rhodo will lose a limb lol) you could also try layering. Take a while but once you set it up you can forget it for a year or two and if successful then it’s simply a matter of digging out a young plant.
Burncose nursery do a lot with rhododendrons. This is their layering video and they also have a number on cuttings.
czcams.com/video/4SGsQJjxoTI/video.html
@@paultsworld That was a very interesting video. I had heard about the “layering” before. I was only doing it to ours as an experiment lol and it didn’t work so I am done haha.
Thanks, for giving me the link Paul, I appreciate it :)
You’re welcome Sue.
D'you know how cold it is here Paul? VERY! Out, 5 minutes, back, wait till March; but thank you. So glad to have this video; when everything looks dead it often is. Just hauled 15 ft. clematis off trellis, found masses of roots bursting its plastic. Re-pot job. Later!
I think it might get colder as well this week! Balmy here but cold wind on the way.
Glad you’ve found lots of roots - I need to repot quite a few things.
@@paultsworld How's the Banana? Brugmansia? Puts my pelageraniums in perspective! Four H. paniculatas might need spa treatment too. Fun!
@@wendychandler8304 Don't ask lol! One is in the ground and I have no idea what state it is in - I daren't look - the other is in the bathroom with no roots but is sending up leaves. I love these tropicals!
great info..will my Peiris take cuttings??
That’s a great question! I’ve never tried it but now you’ve mentioned it I might give it a go and find out.
Hi Paul, I'm Jay from DC, USA. I love your videos, your garden is sooooo beautiful. Especially all the hydrangeas. Supposedly they can be grown from HW cuttings too. Have you ever tried ?
Thank you Jay, glad you enjoy the garden. I love the hydrangeas - the mopheads (big leaf) and lacecap (mountain) are really easy as softwood cuttings but I have done the paniculatas as HW and had some success.
Thank you very much for sharing I’ll try some cutting for different flowering shrubs. 👍❤️🙏😊
Excellent, in the Summer let me know if any have grown. There'll be small leaves showing.
I suppose this'll work well for things like Sorbus and Populus, albeit pending a suitably thin cane?
I haven’t tried those but they’ll probably work. A cutting about the length and thickness of a pencil works well - take them from this year’s growth either at the beginning or end of Winter.
Great video Paul. Can I just clarify when you say soil do you mean straight from the garden or multipurpose compost. I live in the UK and my neighbour has the most beautiful hydrangeas and I wondered if this sort of propagation applies to those. By the way I’ve got plenty of raisins ready to tempt the blackbirds🤞🤞🤞
Blackbirds love raisins!! They’ll be tempted alright.
Now that Winter is over (I hope!) it’s best to wait a bit to take your hydrangea cuttings. Maybe early Summer - I’m going to do a video on it.
Are your neighbours hydrangeas mopheads and lacecaps? If so, wait till early Summer and we can all do it together.
Thank you for this very informative tutorial . I’m new to propagating. Would this method work to propagate Cornus controversa variegata ( wedding cake tree ) and Acers ?
I live in the north of England- would you say October is a good time to start? Thank you 🙏
Thank you - I’m pleased my video was useful to you.
I would say yes, this method could work for your target plants - particularly the dogwood. However take plenty of cuttings as the success rate is not high.
I personally wouldn’t take the cuttings in October - it’s too early. We want the plants to be totally dormant - all leaves dropped off.
I am not an expert but I would say take them as late as possible but either before hard frosts start or after they finish. You don’t want the ground frozen. So maybe well into November - or perhaps mid/end February. Good luck!
@@paultsworld thank you so much - that is very helpful
Could I speed up the process by bringing them inside and putting them by my south facing window? We still have 2 months of winter left here.
That's a really interesting question. Generally that's not done with hardwood cuttings, but I can't really think of a reason why not. Normally hardwood cuttings is a long process and they aren't usually ready for potting up till the Autumn.
paul bey çubukları saksıya dikmezden önce ne sürdünüz bardak içindeki neydi birde yazıp not koydunuz saksılara topraktan sonra küçük taş serpiyorsunuz niçin bunlar benim uygulamadığım bilmediğim şeyler merak ettimde vlog için teşekkürler türkiyeden sevgiler selamlar😊
I used normal soil in one pot and vermiculite in another pot - then mixed the two together for the third pot.
Merhaba Kayra, ben bir saksıda normal toprak, diğer saksıda vermikülit kullandım ve üçüncü saksı için ikisini karıştırdım.
Yani küçük taşlar değil vermikülit parçalarıdır.
Türkiye'ye selamlar.
Will magnolia or calicanthus spicebush work?
That’s a good question- I think just about anything deciduous could work and because it takes little effort it’s always worth trying any plant.
Hi Paul, I don't have a lot of luck with cuttings, but I will keep trying. Do you say that Mophead hydrangeas could be done the same way? 🤔
Hello Pauline, I think mopheads could be done as hardwood cuttings but I think it’s much better to wait till Summer and do softwood cuttings. The success rate is much higher - and quicker.
I’ll do a video on hydrangea cuttings - they are such fun to do and once you’ve been successful you’ll end up with dozens of them 😀
Many thanks 😊
*꧁ 👻💐🤙🏽 Gracias 👌 ꧂*
Thanks!! 👍😀
What month of the year do you take the cuttings?
It depends on your climate.
Best to take them soon after the plants have shut down for the Winter or just before they start coming to life in Spring.
Best not to do it in the depths of Winter when everything is frozen.
I am going to take mine in late February- however in Britain you can take them just about anytime over Winter when the weather is mild.
thanks, can you tell me what month you did this in
It depends on your climate.
You want to take the cuttings either in late Autumn before heavy frosts or late Winter before any new growth starts.
So for me in England, I would be looking at February. By March the sap is rising and it’s getting too late for hardwood cuttings.
@@paultsworld thanks, Im across the pond in soggy Ireland 🤗. I’ll give it a go.
Soggy here too! I would take the cuttings now - as you're in Ireland your ground probably never freezes.
What type of rooting hormone do you use ??
I am not sure its name, so I will check for you and let you know.
@@paultsworld Thanks, I'll be waiting for your response
I've just checked in the shed and it is Doff Rooting Powder.
This is my affiliate UK link on Amazon amzn.to/3Erurt0
They don't sell it on US Amazon but really any rooting hormone would be suitable - whichever takes your fancy.
Hope that helps.
@@paultsworld Thanks !!!
