Yea, they grow real well around here. There are many trees in our area. I got some softwood cuttings yesterday at the cemetery.
I'm positive it is a male tree. It has been there for many many years.
Found this info on a web site:
Ginkgo, Maidenhair tree SW cuttings
"Softwood cuttings are prepared from soft, succulent, new growth of woody plants, just as it begins to harden (mature). Shoots are suitable for making softwood cuttings when they can be snapped easily when bent and when they still have a gradation of leaf size (oldest leaves are mature while newest leaves are still small). For most woody plants, this stage occurs in May, June, or July. The soft shoots are quite tender, and extra care must be taken to keep them from drying out. The extra effort pays off, because they root quickly."
So, do I root them in water or just put them straight into the soil in a humid enviroment? I've never tried this before and find it quite challenging.
Thanks for the replies.
