Beech seeds are sown in pots or at the desired location and covered with soil. The first Beech seedlings should show up after a few months. Seedlings grown in pots are allowed in spring planted out will.
Pull new beeches from cuttings
Cut some semi-woody shoots in spring or summer. Remove the bottom leaves and cut off the top.
Treat the lower interface with rooting powder and pin the Cutting in pots or in the intended location. Pots must be overwintered frost-free.
In the spring, new buds should have formed on some of the shoots, indicating that the cuttings are rooted. Unfortunately, this type of propagation does not always work.
Abmoosen - high gardening art for experts
Mossing requires some expertise and a lot of patience. The type of propagation is very suitable for particularly decorative and old beeches that the gardener would like to preserve.
Lower shoots only in very young trees
Propagation by means of sinkers succeeds in very young trees, where the young branches can be pulled down to the ground.
The branches are scratched, covered with earth and fixed. After a few months, the soil is removed to see if new roots have formed.
Tips
Hornbeams, which are often mistakenly counted as beeches, are similar multiply like the beech. Here, too, new trees are grown from the nuts or cuttings.
