Rooting Cuttings, list of plants, when to cut and best method to root??

[secuono]

I'm trying to find lists of which plants can be propagated by cuttings. Then figure out when is the best time to take cuttings for those plants and lastly, which method works best on those plants, like willow just needs water.

I'm searching all sorts of websites, but not getting very far.

I didn't find a Sticky for this, so maybe everyone can add to this list so it can become a quick reference guide.

Anyone know which method works best for which plants? Water, hormone, honey, etc.

Please add your tips and advice.

Thanks!

you can take hardwood cuttings of some apples around late winter and get those to root. also willow hardwood cuttings around the same time period. peaches/apricots/nectarines can be cut late summer when you do your pruning and those cuttings should root. i think hormone works best on these.

raspberry & blackberry cane cuttings will also root nicely if you just lay the cane cutting flat in a tray of dirt. take cuttings around end of summer and over winter them lightly layered with dirt. keep them moist but not soaked or you'll have issues with mold/mildew. sort of like what mother nature does with them-she bows them over and the ends that touch the ground will start to take root.

I have a good book on plant propagation. I will look it up and you can check Amazon for a used copy. And I can use it to add to your useful information, @secuono.
