But all seriousness aside, I used to grow a tomato called Golden Boy but haven't seen it for years. Wonder if it's still around?
I haven't heard of Golden Boy. Is it a hybrid?
Not sure about other trees like pear, ash, and aspen, but mulberry could definitely root, and lilac might. I have the vague memory that either ash or aspen could, but can't remember which. Have you rooted hardwood cuttings before? You want to keep the humidity high (some kind of cover and frequent misting) and some of them do better with bottom heat. --it's best to look up the best temperature for each -- Shaving the cambium off in narrow strips or making bunch of razor cuts also helps to expose more of that critical bark edge where root cells can grow from.Taiji wrote:Today I took some cuttings from trees with swelling buds and hope to pot them in a little while after dipping them in some rooting powder, just to see what happens. Lilac, pear, arizona ash, mulberry, aspen (took a drive up to the national forest for that one!).
...and everybody who is prepping their gardens to plating-readiness -- I'm getting anxious. I want to plant too and I NEED to plant the broccoli and sprouted peas. It's seeing Lots of earthworm activity out in the garden soil surface.
