I've had to stake several rooted ones lately that have been growing in a crooked manner. It is possible to straighten them out over time if one does grow crooked. Kaperc, you may not get blooms this year from these cuttings unless they were cut from already flowering trees. This summer, they will spend their energy developing roots and putting on growth. I would feed them Miracle Grow or any other balanced fertilizer as soon as your cuttings have a well-developed head of leaves. This will probably happen in two to three months. The more bottom heat you can give them, the faster they will root. I put my cuttings in full sun on the hot cement. Here's a picture of some of them: |
