My daughter is renting a house in Tyler, Texas, with a gorgeous Chinese pistache (also called Chinese pistachio) in the yard. I want to root cuttings of this tree - if that is possible. I have heard using a "willow tea" improves the odds of cutting survival. Lucky me, a friend has a willow tree in her yard! My questions: How long should the cuttings be and how deeply should they be planted? Any idea how long it would be before I should be able to see signs of life? I have been squirreling away several empty 5-gallon water jugs to use as incubators. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
