Hi Debder,

I have just had my *first* success with cuttings taken from a sambuscus nigra and a Hydrangea which all rooted within two weeks using my new heated propagator, for a few days the nigra looked lifeless then I noticed it started to straighten up and yesterday I realised that all the cuttings had developed roots and I now have just re potted them all.
All I did was follow the advice on taking cuttings AND used a heated propagator, that is my story and I hope you find success because it was such a thrill knowing it had worked, good luck.

You could also try hardwood cuttings, taken in January or February which should root fairly easily
