Separating a Trident group planting...how and when?

Trident cuttings are dead easy to root ... you can have loads more stuff next year

The roots don't have any shoots...though they rooted well lol. I disturbed one to see if it is still alive and it is. I'll give it a few months before disposing. Not sure if maple bud at roots w/o any nodes.

The branch/trunk cuttings are doing okay. I took 8, 4 died, 4 are growing. We had a HOA sprinkler problem and the cuttings got soaked for couple of weeks straight. I think I am lucky to have 4 survive given the situation/condition.

Here is a pic of 2 in one container I snapped in random more than 2 weeks ago. It is more lush now.

At least some survived. Nice... yeah I think I'm going to try some air layering on some thick branches from my big trident. Then maybe some cuttings next spring since even large cutting seem to be working for you. Good luck.

Thanks
