Aprici

Bought at Le Coteau $15. Grows to be 5' tall and 6' wide.  Prune annually in late winter to promote vigorous new growth.

Propagation - Softwood Cuttings - Cut in May

The flats should be 3-4" deep. Fill them to the top with course sand. Make your cuttings as described earlier, dip them in a rooting compound, and stick them in the flat.

Softwood cuttings wilt very quickly. Take just a few cuttings at a time and get them stuck in the sand and watered as quickly as possible. When you first take the cuttings, keep them in the shade for a period of 7-10 days. This gives them a chance to harden off before you put them in the sun. Plants need at least partial sun in order to develop roots.
