Field note

lilacs rooted under mist last July

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

lilacs rooted under mist last July. These only has a couple months before frost last year so I was happy to see they’re well rooted. They all found a home as a hedge at our daughter’s place on the weekend. Mostly I think our rooted softwood cuttings will need 1.5 growing seasons in a bed before they’re ready to transplant, especially types that might need 8 weeks to root they’re being planted out in august. Lilacs were one of the easiest to root perennials last summer. #propagation #permaculture
