Layering a Snowball Bush: Why Burying Blooms Doesn't Work

Layering a Snowball Bush: Why Burying Blooms Doesn't Work

Don't bury blooms. Instead, use a low branch:

1. Wound bark on underside where it touches soil (expose white inner layer).
2. Make soil depression, place wounded section down, cover with dirt, anchor with large rock.
3. Water frequently.
4. When new growth appears from under rock, roots have formed.
5. In fall, sever from mother, dig up, transplant.

This layering method is reliable for snowball bush.
