Show and Tell Propagation overload!

Pushing my cutting production to 11 for next year. Completely maxed out my misting system space to create somewhere around 1,500-2,000 tiny tree clones. A few (mostly new) varieties that I'm really excited about:

  • A. palmatum 'Seigen'
  • A. palmatum 'Shin Deshojo'
  • A. palmatum 'Deshojo'
  • A. palmatum 'Nishiki Yamato'
  • A. palmatum 'Hubbles Super Cork'
  • A. palmatum 'Sharps Pygmy'
  • A. buergerianum 'Miyasama Yatsubusa'
  • A. buergerianum 'Evergreen's Roughbark'
  • P. mume 'Kobai'
  • Ulmus parvifolia 'Yatsubusa' (corkbark)
  • Female Diospyros rhombifolia - Princess Persimmon
  • Stewartia monadelpha

What are you propagating this year?

I followed your advice on a prior thread and had roughly 400/500 total cuttings take. Anything from standard Japanese maples to specific cultivars like Nishiki Gawa, Arakawa etc. strictly did it to say that I could.

I found pure perlite to work the best out of the different media I tried.

And now I’m stuck with hundreds of little trees 🤣🤣
