OT Edgeworthia
Comments (4)I'm so looking forward to the edgeworthia blooming but I'm going to miss the foliage. It's such a pretty little tree. I'd like it even if it didn't have flowers. Here it is again. You can't tell from the pic but it's about 3.5' tall and has a nice spread. I have another one that's about 1/5 the size of that one. I thought it was dead for a long time but it came back to life several months ago. I'm glad I didn't toss it!...See MoreRooting Edgeworthia
Comments (1)Used cuttings of firm new growth. Applied 0.2% IBA (rooting hormone) stick in well drained soil & mist taking 25-60 days to root. I used a old windex bottle to mist. the tent must be removed several times a day (ie. when home)to reduce chances of fungal growth....See MoreEdgeworthia propagation
Comments (2)I met a very well known horticulturalist last week at Goodness Grows and he told me to put the cutting in some rooting and then in a mixture of sand and peat moss, cover it in Saran Wrap until it roots. Did not say how long it would take. I'm going to try it....will let y'all know if it works....See MoreEdgeworthia propagation
Comments (3)Do a Google search for, plant propagation + stooling. With a bit of reading you should quickly understand 'stooling'. I would rather have you read mulitiple discussions on the subject than give you just one site. I did note that the easily understood stooling method described by R.J. Garner in his book "The Grafter's Handbook" is listed there. This is a British book published in 1947 that should be in every pro's library. It is common for blueberry growers to use the stooling method to increase stock. Can be used on most difficult to root shrubs. So, you have three methods; seeds, rooting under mist half-ripe cuttings in summer and stooling. Although I have not tried to root Edgeworthia, based on experience may I suggest stooling should be the easiest....See Morebubba62
