Jacaranda cutting

Post by Beano »

I've been taking cuttings of just about everything this year. Here's a small branch off the tree out the back that I took about 4 weeks ago. I have baby jacaranda leaves unfolding! They're cute.

Haven't had a lot of luck with Jacaranda cuttings lately...seeds are a different story. Emptied a couple of seed pods into a seed tray several weeks ago & now I have dozens & dozens of little jacaranda's! Wonder if I'll be able to get a couple of dollars each at the markets? :lol:

Good luck with the cutting.

Cheers

Yeah it's a bit early to pin my hopes on mine yet... The other one is smaller and it's a little slow but has some new shoots. The one pictured is a thick cutting, probably an inch thick.

The cutting died, but I took some more and they each have a bud. More success this time hopefully.

Sorry to hear the cutting died - hopefully you have success this time. I haven't tried Jacaranda's I will keep watching to see how you are going, might give me the inspiration to give it a go.
Good Luck ! :fc:

Dead again. No roots at all either. Might just have to start with an actual plant.

You could also try airlayering.
So the Redwood turns to the Bonsai and says "Lend me a Tenner"......

Airlayer should be a easy to do and have great results.
If you have a tree with some interesting movement, then layer it off so you can start with a larger trunk.

if you cannot layer, then scout around in spring /summer for soem seedlings and collect them. Pot up and let them grow unhindered.
