Hi Pearcy. I have never tried root cuttings because they strike so easily the normal way. Yes the fruit lasted this season because I had it in a cage. When I was trough looking at them a put it outside and let the birds prune them off.Pearcy001 wrote: ↑July 28th, 2019, 10:18 pm Mike - or anyone else for that matter.
Has anyone had much success propegating Ilex serrata from root cuttings?
My Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata) used to throw suckers from surface roots regularly, so I'm presuming these could be similar - although I never actually tried root cuttings.
I hope the fruits lasted for you this season Mike!
Cheers,
Pearcy.

Re: Ilex serrata
Cheers Mike.
I'd be interested to see if a root cutting was to get berries as quick as a regular cutting (just as a tree grown from seed would not get berries as quick as a cutting).
Cheers,
Pearcy.
