Hi Everyone,

I have a couple of Frosty Pinks growing in the ground that I thought I would take cuttings from for some of my family and friends that have never grown a Brug before. (I need to get a few locals addicted)

I've got some directions, just haven't found the nerve to start cutting.

One thing I am wondering is if you should let the cuttings sit and dry for any time period before trying to root them. If it isn't necessasary, is it ok to do this if you can't get them to the intended recipient right away? or should cuttings be put in water ASAP?

Can you take cuttings as large as you want or is there a certain size that is better than another?

Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place for these answers. (I know I'll find them here.)

Thanks for any help.
