And,just like that,you've made it easy to understand how to make hard wood cuttings! Great work Lee🤟🏻👌🏼

[@Gardenninja]

Glad you liked it Roy! I’ve got a new camera I’m playing around with for the next few vids so I can move around a bit more and it follows me. Hopefully this one will get people propagating this winter with confidence!! 🥷🌿👌

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

2nd excellent video I have seen on this topic this month. I love how detailed and patient you were in demonstrating this method Lee! Thanks!

[@Gardenninja]

You’re welcome! Well it may seem easy to me (having done it a billion times) but for the beginner showing it a few times close up always helps! 🥷🌿👌

[@karenaWarner144]

Lovely guy, always takes his time to explain and show you what he’s doing. But best of all he always makes me smile 😊

[@Gardenninja]

Thanks Karen. What lovely feedback! I love converging beginner and intermediate gardeners into Garden Ninjas!!! 🥷🌿👌🔥

[@sarahharbert8944]

So good to see you doing these informative videos again. Thanks Lee 😊

[@Gardenninja]

Thanks Sarah! Many more to come. I’m glad you’re enjoying them again! 🥷🌿🤘

[@RaymondStarr007]

Excellent video so easy to do this winter

[@Gardenninja]

There’s some magic with this propagation method given how easy it is!! 🥷🌿👌🌟

[@nextrip2862]

Love this! Detailed, answered most of ??? in my head as a novice gardener. Thank you Lee!

[@Gardenninja]

You’re welcome Nextrip! I aim to dispel the gardening myths and answer those jiggly sometimes embarrassing questions that we all have but fear to ask!! 🥷🌿👌

[@lilwilliams7277]

Thanks Lee, excellent video. You explain and demonstrate so well 🥰

[@Gardenninja]

You’re welcome 😊 I’m really glad these videos land so well. I always try to put myself into the mindset of someone who has never done this before. So really pleased you’re all enjoying and learning from them 🥷🌿👌🌟

[@jaceybarnard75]

This was such a great video..close-ups on how to cut on the actual stem 👏. Will be trying the technique on a buddleia. Do you have a similar video for apple trees? I have a miniature one (3ft-4ft) and have no idea what I’m doing every year (even though I’ve read up on it), I just keep my fingers crossed!

[@Gardenninja]

Thanks Jacey. Glad my gardening guides are helpful. Sure I do! Here’s my apple tree pruning guide www.gardenninja.co.uk/how-to-prune-an-apple-tree-ultimate-beginners-guide/ 🥷🤘🌿 🍎

[@jaceybarnard75]

@@Gardenninja thanks so much…I now understand the reasons for doing the cuts where you do. It makes sooo much more sense now 😄 and I’ll be giving it a go soon 👏. Thank you.

[@ellie.l6585]

Great tutorial, thank you Lee. Would this work for Mock Orange?

[@Gardenninja]

Yes it would but mock oranges and philadelphus tend to take faster if you use softwood cuttings. I have a video here on that too. They’re a bit slow in the winter you see. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYPbdptmaqpon6ssi=0rOKDgogWO6z8GAo Happy propagating! 🥷🌿👌

[@stevebuck1737]

Hi Lee I agree with the other comments. You explain and show we can do this worry free . Thanks as always. Happy Christmas

[@ellie.l6585]

@@Gardenninja Fabulous. Thanks Lee. Happy Christmas to you and your beautiful dogs 🎅🌲🎅 xx

[@jameslturnbull]

Do the amount of buds of the cutting matter..? Or as long as there is one at the bottom?

[@Gardenninja]

For slower rooting plants like Roses some say it’s best to have at least 2-3 buds below soil. But for faster shrubs one to two is best. For roses go for the 30cm longer length and bury more buds. Same with holly which can take a while! 🥷🌿👌

[@nataliedodson1637]

Great video Thank You so much. I have just bought an expensive little fir tree. Could I take cuttings from this now does anyone know please? Thanks Natalie

[@Gardenninja]

Hi Natalie. First and coniferous trees are best taken using heel cuttings. This is done by taking the fresh tip usually in spring and pulling off a slither of the bark with it. Then rooting hormone is applied and potted on the same way as hardwood cuttings. If you google it you’ll see. They are slow growing though for the most part so remember that! 🥷🌿🤘

[@zhangruyi3153]

For those people who are into English units, 15 cm is 6 inches . . . We are in England and we should use English units!

[@Gardenninja]

You do know imperial moved to metric in 1965. Use whichever but claiming one is ‘English’ is irrelevant. 😂😂😂
