Cold Hardy Plums and Cherry Hybrids: Summer Field Notes
Field note · July 2026
manor cherry plum, two batches of cuttings collected one week apart
manor cherry plum, two batches of cuttings collected one week apart. the first set are a good stage to pot up and move along into the next zone, they're forming a fibrous root mass - this is all you need to support the plant. in the second photo they're not ready, my usual rule of thumb is at least one or two roots a half inch long. what I did was to put up about half of that set and restick the rest. the real complication for me is this is is creates two batches to keep track of.
