With these methods it works (Cornus)

Propagation via cuttings

Dogwood cuttings are cut in late spring - June is best. For this, choose healthy, non-flowering shoots with a length of about 15 centimeters. Hold the cut surface at a slight angle and remove all leaves except the top two. If these are very large, you can also cut them in half - this measure ensures that the cutting (the can only absorb water poorly without roots anyway) nor valuable moisture through evaporation loses. Dip the cut in a rooting substrate and plant the prepared shoot in a potty Potting soil. Keep the substrate slightly moist and overwinter the cutting in a cool, but frost-free place.

Propagation by subsidence

In contrast to cuttings, so-called sinkers are allowed to remain on the mother plant until they have developed enough roots themselves. This measure will also be carried out in spring.

• Bend selected side shoots down to the ground.
• These should be around six to eight inches long.
• Cut the bark in the middle of the shoot at a slight angle.
• Treat the interface with a Rooting powder.
• Place the prepared interface in a small hole in the ground,
• earth
• and fix the branch with a bent wire or stone.
• The other two ends must look out of the earth.
• The shoot is expected to take root after about six to eight weeks.

Propagate dogwood from seeds

Furthermore, the dogwood can also be propagated using seeds that you have collected yourself or by buying them, whereby this type of propagation is mainly carried out by birds. The animals eat them Fruits of the dogwood extremely like and distribute the seeds in the entire neighborhood.
