For 2 winters in a row I have started cuttings of my INCREDIBLY beautiful Chitalpa tree - cuttings up to one half in diameter, dipped in root tone and stuck in the ground in an out of the way spot. It takes months to see any growth so don't give up! Sometimes the new growth comes up as a shoot from the new roots and sometimes you see leaves come out of the stick. Both are in the picture. I have found that the cuttings must be taken while dormant.
