Rooting Dogwood
By Chrispook
Pest county, near Budapest,

When I pruned my Red Dogwood at the end of the winter, I put the stems in water. They made a very attractive display for the house. NOW 5 of them have developed roots. I have put them in a pot for now. My question is how long should I keep them in a pot before I transplant them into the garden?

Hi Chris - yes, Cornus alba does root very easily! The usual way to propagate this plant is to cut stems off in winter and simply to push them into the ground - they usually root and start growing without any more input! If you have somewhere to put them, I see no reason not to plant them straight away (keeping them well watered until established), or leave them in pots until you decide where to put them :-)
