40 thin cuttings Viburnum opulus flowering Eastern Snowball Chervona Kalyna

Description: .*.*. Welcome to our Beautiful World of Gardening! . *.*. Our garden is 100% organic. We do not use any chemicals You will receive: 40 unrooted cuttings Viburnum opulus Chervona Kalyna flowering plant scions known also as SnowballOther common names include water elder, cramp bark, snowball tree and European cranberrybush, though this plant is not closely related to the cranberry. Each cutting is 6-7 inch in length. The cuttings are semi-hardwood, their diameter is approx. 1/8" to 1/4". These will be cut from our mature tree the day of shipping to you and will be wrapped in moist paper. Use them for rooting your own trees and grafting. Viburnum opulus is a deciduous shrub growing to 4–5 m (13–16 ft) tall. The leaves are opposite, three-lobed, 5–10 cm (2–4 in) long and broad, with a rounded base and coarsely serrated margins; they are superficially similar to the leaves of some maples, most easily distinguished by their somewhat wrinkled surface with impressed leaf venation. The leaf buds are green, with valvate bud scales. The hermaphrodite flowers are white, produced in corymbs 4–11 cm (2–4 in) in diameter at the top of the stems; each corymb comprises a ring of outer sterile flowers 1.5–2 cm in diameter with conspicuous petals, surrounding a center of small (5 mm), fertile flowers; the flowers are produced in early summer, and pollinated by insects. The fruit is a globose bright red drupe 7–10 mm diameter, containing a single seed. The seeds are dispersed by birds. The fruit is edible in small quantities, with a very acidic taste; it can be used to make jelly. Experimentation with cuttings is an excellent therapy. I am one of those who believe that people need plants. People need to see green leaves, and they want to be happy doing simple things and accomplishing what they can every day. In addition, this hobby can be profitable - you can grow seedlings and sell them several months later. We can make this planet a little bit greener, cleaner, and healthier! My favorite method for rooting involves a clear plastic container (Like a shoe box from Lowes or a clear-plastic container for cakes) and live moss from the nearby woods. There is an opinion that live moss has anti-mold properties. Also, it is easy to place layers of moss - like clumps or "shelves" with plenty of humid air in between - and then to place cuttings. It is easier and safer to lift the clumps of moss without damaging fragile young roots - when you inspect the cuttings periodically. Horizontal placement of the cuttings often leads to several roots growing at the cutting ends and in the middle, potentially producing 2-3 plants from one cutting. I keep the box at the room temperature, 5-6 ft away from windows. Last several photos illustrate the moss, and roots growing at one end or both ends, and even in the middle. Some people call this horizontal+live moss method "simplified" aeroponics (Wikipedia: aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium). Recently I decided to use very short, 3-3.5" long, cuttings. My experiments with short fig cuttings were surprisingly successful: those short 3-3.5" cuttings produced roots at the ends and even in the middle! I did not use any rooting hormone, and based on what I have read, rooting hormone may or may not contribute to the success. When I see approx. 1” long white roots, I gently move the cutting to a “pot” made of a clear plastic water bottle with 3-4 holes on the bottom. Clear plastic allows me to see the growing roots. I use regular potting soil, used coffee grounds and even used leaves of mint after drinking mint tea, offering overall loose soil for the roots to propagate. I can see air gaps in the soil (avocado roots seem to like these cavities), and the roots rapidly growing in this porous light-weight “soil”. Normally I place those plastic bottles with rooted cuttings in larger clear plastic containers like Sterlite 55 - 65" storage totes. I spray some water on my plants and keep these large containers closed. This creates a nice, warm humid environment, so I do not have to worry about watering my young plants too often. Some people prefer other, direct methods for rooting. They put cuttings 2" deep in the soil and then place a clear plastic bag on top of the pot with the cuttings. I believe that 2" deep is not the best. When I use this method - I plant my cuttings deeper, so only 2" of their tops are above the soil level. One reason is to keep the most of the cutting surface in the moist soil. Another reason - is that I saw roots growing in the middle of the cuttings. I never tried heating pads. I know that some people successfully use the back top portion of refrigerators for heating of their cuttings. However, I found an "opposite" ... when I placed cuttings in moist potting soil and left it sitting in the unheated garage (meaning cooler temperature and stable moisture level due to very slow evaporation during rather mild winter in Virginia) - many cuttings produced roots. This is just as another simple idea for those who likes experimenting. I am trying to stay away from what people do with my cuttings. One reason - is that every day I have too many things to do, with little time to keep responding to emails. The second reason is that when rooting does not go well - some buyers tend to blame the seller, and in the past they asked me for their money back, saying that my instructions were wrong, "I followed your instructions and the cuttings did not produce roots!" In summary, different people use different rooting methods - from dump paper in a zip-lock bag placed on top of refrigerator to a sophisticated ultrasonic fog system. I can't provide advice and/or take any responsibility for what my buyers do with my cuttings or how they perform rooting, grafting, etc. And unfortunately, my name is not Rockefeller, meaning that I can't refund every unsuccessful rooting experiment.
