So at the end of the 1st year it’s time to post an update.

I started with 72 cuttings and 150+ seedlings that I didn’t cut. From the 72 cuttings about 65 survived and from that 65 I will select the 20 best to continue in year 2.

From the other uncut seedlings I’ll probably keep 10 or so to grow further for other projects. The rest is for anyone who will have them…

Picture 1, The batch of 2018 seedlings. The cuttings are in the square pots in the back.

Picture 2 & 3, one of seedling cuttings that grew out very dense. Notice the big but and 2 little buds waiting to explode once spring arrives. This one is a keeper.

Picture 4, a seedling cutting that produced a branch close to the base already. Another keeper.

Picture 5, the trays with uncut seedlings. 10 are keepers, the rest, well… no idea.

Next update, next year!
