Well---Y'all!

I did 4 top branches of my camellia today with the "air layering" method. We will just wait and see....

I also was able to bend 2 branches, near the bottom, to the soil. Dig the soil up a bit--putt he branch in it--
cover with some soil--and then put a brick over it.

I also did a gazillion top cuttings today. Trimmed back , most leaves removed, two remaining top leaves cut in half,
bottom of softwood stem scarred a bit, dipped in rooting hormone and all stuck in an
8" shallow pot with a plastic dome over it. Will keep it in semi-shade and keep it watered.
What do I have to lose???????? Just trying something new....

I am dying to propagate this Camellia!!! Time will tell.... Gita
