Devil's in the details-maple cuttings?
Most of the questions I had on this topic were answered by other posts to this board. Just have a couple of specific details I need clarified with respect to Japanese maple cuttings.
(1) Where should the cut on the stem be in relation to the nearest node, above, right below, through or doesn't matter?
(2) I have noticed that there are different types of root hormone. I'm using Shultz TakeRoot. Is there one that is better for Japanese maple?
(3) When cuttings leaf out will they only produce leaves that the new roots can sustain or should some effort be made to reduce leaf area? (wishfull thinking?)
Thanks.......Mike
