Goldcrest Conifer Cuttings for Propagation - 5 Pieces - Free Shipping
Product Details
This listing is for 5 cuttings from Goldcrest cypress grown in my garden.
It has a unique scent and acts as an insect repellent.
The cuttings are approximately 10-15 cm long.
(These are cuttings, so they do not have roots.)
They will be cut from the parent plant on the day of shipping and soaked in Menéde for 1-2 hours before being sent.
The Goldcrest cypress I grew from a cutting 5 years ago is now about 300 cm tall.
The one from 3 years ago is about 180 cm tall.
Purchasing Goldcrest cypress of this size at a home improvement store can be quite expensive, but growing it from cuttings is more economical, although it takes time.
Furthermore, you will develop a stronger attachment to a plant you've grown from a cutting.
It takes some time for roots to develop, but Goldcrest cypress is relatively easy to root from cuttings and is unlikely to die even in the cutting stage. If you wait patiently, roots will eventually emerge.
I would rate the difficulty of rooting as somewhere between lavender and eucalyptus (Silver Dollar Gum).
Eucalyptus is difficult... it often dies before rooting.
Please refer to books or the internet for instructions on how to propagate cuttings.
Without some knowledge, they may die midway.
The cut ends will be kept moist for shipping.
