Detailed Explanation of Key Techniques for Hardwood Cutting Propagation of Dawn Redwood
The time for hardwood cuttings of dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) is from mid-to-late March to early April. After preparing the seedbed, insert the cuttings while watering, mainly using the mud-insertion method. Insert 2/3 of the cutting into the soil, leaving 1/3 exposed above ground. After finishing planting one bed, water thoroughly again. One week later, due to the insertion, soil compaction or cracking will occur between the rows of the seedbed.
