It's a good technique to study and maybe experiment with at some later time but you don't want to be doing this with these trees.

What did I suggest that you disagree with, Vance? I didn't suggest that he go ahead and make cuttings of them, although I may have been less clear than I could have been about recommendations. I don't recommend making cuttings at this stage of the game or for beginners. My article is actually about starting with older trees for the same effect. My main point was to identify the needles. |
