Growing trees through cuttings... now that is an interesting idea. The idea came to us in two ways. The first was when I was home last month my mother-in-law had taken my indoor fig tree and made a new tree out of some of the leaf cuttings. The second is we have some trees that are well over my head while the ones beside them are only a third the height. Obviously there are some stronger genetic trends.

So today we went out in the field and took clippings from all our different types of trees. I took some rooting hormone designed for hardwoods and I put the clippings in bags. So now we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
