Propogation of trees, bushes and shrubs, for those of you who have done it, good books et c ?

Question

If you want 10 points, then be experienced at this subject, Cutting and pasting site I can do myself by searching. I am hoping to find some good simple basic books or info on general propogation to skip the failures as much as possible. I know tons on flowers and if you want the most excellent book on starting flowers from seed, it is "From Seed to Bloom" by Eileen Powell, mine is 1995 and it is very very very good because she tells which are hard and which are easy etc. So how about a trade for some info on a book like this IF YOU HAVE USED IT AND KNOW FOR SURE. THANKS

Answer 1

The best propagating book I have seen is published by Dorling Kindersley (www.dk.com), and is called "The Royal Horticultural Society Propagating Plants" book, author Alan Toogood. It's obviously English but I picked it up in my bookstore easily in Australia.

It tells you the best time to grow seeds or cuttings of over 1,500 plants and gives you illustrated techniques , some you may never have heard off. I find it excellent.
