I have +- 20 elm cuttings (Ulmus minor) from last year, that just started to push new growth. They're all from this parent tree:
Here are most of the cuttings:
I took them in May 2019 and potted them in perlite, mixed with some sand. (No particular reason for this mix, I just had it laying around). They grew well last year and most of them are coming out of dormancy. All of them are hardwood cuttings btw. Shoots that are 1 to 2 years old I guess.
Some of them were still very flexible:
Others will be trained as broom and (informal) upright trees. Tomorrow I'll repot most of them and start training the roots to form a nice radial shape.
I also took 7 cuttings and put them together, in order to create a clump style planting in the future:
Happy to see so many fine roots! I cut all the roots that were higher up, to create a flat root base.
Some cuttings had formed a tap root and one or two thicker lateral roots. They were cut back as well.
Thicker roots + one small root higher up.
This one had a suprisingly even root base!
