This past fall, when I brought in my brugs to go dormant, I chopped off the branches above the Y in about one-foot pieces and threw them into a bucket of water with a little hydrogen peroxide to prevent rot. I topped up the water every month or so and they grew masses of roots. In the spring, I potted them up and they are now healthy plants covered with leaves and starting to branch out. I'll be planting them out all over the place this month. I got about 20 plants!

The older trees are now almost three inches at the base and very happy. I've taken them out of their pots and put them in the ground. My plan is to let them go crazy for the summer, and just take cuttings in the fall -- less work and more plants. The display last summer was dazzling!
