Sprouting Honeysuckle
We cut down some little trees that had honeysuckle growing on them. I decided to try to sprout the honeysuckle. Some parts of the vines were woody and some parts were soft and green. I sliced the vines into 6 to 8 inch sections, dipped them into rooting hormone and placed them into a deep starter tray with regular potting soil. A bit over half of the cuttings look like they made it. Neither of the woody pieces rooted.
And the roots:
I think that I’ll wait until next spring to plant these little plants in the wild. Hopefully I’ll have my greenhouse moved over by then and I can leave them in it overwinter. This is the first time that I have rooted honeysuckle and I’ll just have to see how it does.
