Hi Everyone, forgive me for not stopping in sooner, but this is my time of year when I take some cuttings and do some repotting, etc. I have a little business I run from here on the Christmas Tree Farm in New Jersey. I sell starter plants on the internet. My website is
www.JBsBirdsandMore.com if you want to see some of the plants I try and grow.
I dabble with tropicals, mostly gardenias, jasmine but my favorite is any Holiday Cactus I can get my hands on because they take so little effort and that is about what I am having just now. Winter is not my favorite time of year since I am not a snowbird and I am now 83 years old. I do love my plants, and at this time I am taking cuttings and rooting the Dwarf Black Pussy Willows Salix Gracillistyla "Melanostachys". I adore these plants. They show beauty in every season.
I guess I neglected to ask any questions because I do not have the name of the nursery plants I am trying to propagate. I have several different holly bushes that are here on the farm that I would love to propagate. I did manage to do the one, which I think is an English Holly, but the others I am not having any luck. They take forever to root and I have tried almost every way I know how. I get so far and then the leaves fall off and they die. So, if anyone is a Holly Expert, please give me your thoughts. But, I can only send pictures, I have no names. Sorry.
