I use rebar [ the steel they put in concert ] to support plants and stick / pound extra pieces into ground close to where I think I might need them .
Anyway , about a month ago we had a bad wind storm right after the burgs were moved outside , I was sick with a cold and a nephew was here . The wife and he pruned away broken sections , pulled up rebar and stuck broken pieces into holes . 5 out of 7 have new growth .
I had the pruning tar but they could not find it so they used masking tape to seal .
I don't know if the iron in dirt from rusty rebar helped the roots or not .
I cropped the picture of back yard to show tape .
I think I will try putting a few nails in a jar of water and pour rusty water into potting mix . But that will be when I prune or get a / more cutting [ s ]
