| I have a large 'Victor' crape myrtle that I want to get a start of so I can remove the original plant. Unfortunately, I put it too close to the magnolia and the magnolia won, so am looking for information about starting crape myrtles from suckers, because the CM is probably too big to successfully transplant. I thought about just putting the sucker cuttings in water to root and was wondering if anyone had success with this. Or should I take cuttings from the tips of the mature plant? Does it matter? Would it be better to just put the cuttings in a sand/peat mixture to root? Any advice would be appreciated! Vickie May all your weeds be wildflowers. ~Author Unknown |

| I would do the sand/peat method and just to be on the safe side use a rooting hormone. They generally root easily. Good luck. Minds are like parachutes; they work better when they are open. |
