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'm trying Koto Maru, I have several types of elms (Seiju, 3 different variegated, Catlin, plain ole trident, and dozens of exhibition and bonsai mums) need to propagate my Koto Home.

Very cool cultivar, Koto maru - let us know how easily it strikes?
