a couple beds of haskap and black currant

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

a couple beds of haskap and black currant, a good result from softwood propagated last year, they’ll be decent kind of gallon pot size by fall, exactly the size I want. If the cuttings are done early they seem to have a high percentage overwinter, late softwood may root but the plants often won’t survive, at least in my experience with a short growing season. My goal this year is to make all softwood cuttings before the summer solstice, and get everything rooted and hardened off as early in the summer as possible.
