stilldew said:Cinta, I will be glad to send you some cuttings this fall if you want to pot some up and grow them over the winter. Do you have a window you could put them in or a llight stand? I don't enjoy taking care of the cuttings but it sure save on the money. I usually look for 2 or 3 new ones each year but otherwise just keep the old ones going.


Trailing Plum is my favorite trailing one. It is growing on the bottom level of the stacking containers in the photos above. Trails down about 15" and cuttings root very easily. that one I could send you some rooted cutting of becauce I've started lots of little ones from pieces I've broken off.


I would love some cuttings Susan. I bring some in every year. I had a few survivors last winter. I put them in a old fish tank that I know longer use and kept the light on in the fish tank. Those did very good. The ones I had in pots very few survived but I did have a few from them.

None of the ones I picked up at the nursery lived. Go figure the expensive named ones died but the no names cheap'os did good. Rolling on the floor laughing
