How do I start a cutting from a Japanese maple tree?
Take 6-8 inch green (new growth) cuttings, strip all but top 2-3 leaves. Cut at angle at leaf axil. Dip in rooting hormone (Rootone). Stick in moist soilless mix or perlite, don't let cuttings touch. Seal in plastic bag for humidity, bright light but NO direct sun (cooks them). Use 40W shop light. Bottom heat 70-75°F. Roots in ~8 weeks—check with pencil for white roots. Harden off 7-10 days before planting out. Need 30+ days before hard frost.
