Elderberry & CurranTs
Elderberry and currant cuttings are frequently available at our seed swaps. If you’ve just brought some cuttings home, put them in water with buds facing up. You can leave them in water until roots form, and then plant them in their permanent location. Or you can put them directly in the ground, since they will root in soil that is kept moist.
Here’s a link to a quality online pamphlet from the UW Extension about growing these crops in Wisconsin.
figs
It is very important to not let fig cuttings dry out. If you’ve just brought some home, put them in water or wrap in plastic and put in the refrigerator until you want to try to root them. There are many ways to root figs. Here’s a link to a website that discusses the methods.
