Rooting your own cuttings is fun and rewarding. You can start your own fast growing privacy screen or plant hedge in your back yard for free and I'm going to show you how. Enjoy the watching me root cuttings of English Laurel, the fasted growing hedge plant for privacy. This is plant propagation 101, for beginners, in a condensed format. And then when you're ready, check out the links below. The videos below go into much greater depth and detail on this project. Have fun in the garden!

Hi Mike. Thanks so much for this series. We have bought our first home and need 50m worth of hedging. After watching this series we went for laurel and I followed the steps, taking cuttings at the start of summer. We now have 100+ cuttings nicely rooted and in 2 summers from now will be ready to plant them saving us thousands £££!!! THANK YOU. You mentioned in the video you would do more videos so we can see how they grew once you planted them. I can't see these - did you do any? Hope so. THANKS AGAIN. Im new to gardening and this series gave me such confidence. Xxxx

I’m interested in the English Laurel. Would you do a video on the pros and cons, the difference between English Laurel and Skip Laurel, can it grow in full shade, growing zones, what’s the full mature size? Also can you underplant beneath Leland cypress or close to it and how fast does it grow? I would really appreciate learning more. Also Mountain Laurel, can you do a comparison between English, Skip and Mountain Laurels. 🙏

@charleswilder2985 3 года назад

Terrific! I guess my Heritage raspberry "wall" does not offer so much privacy but solid security, as the runners I transplant get as tall as five feet within a year, and are covered with thorns. Of course, those runners are volunteers; all I have to do is dig them up and move them. Usually I cut straight down, between them and the parent plant, and leave them in place to root better for a couple weeks, before moving them. At last count, they were up to 62 distinct plants along the 100' of mere 4' chain link fence line, to deter fruit thieves from jumping that fence any longer. In another year, that will be nearly impenetrable. Gonna have to learn to make wine with the berries, I guess. I do look forward to seeing the growth as they develop.

@dberar55 3 года назад

I bought our 2 acres 10 yrs. ago and one area was a massive wall of Laurel that was out of control. 3 yrs. ago I went in with the chain saw and took them to the ground. Massive trunks the size of fir trees. Imagine the surprise as I get deep into it I find an old shed we didn't know was there and several other treasures. Beautiful hedge but very aggressive and FAST growing. Were still fighting to get rid of it all.

@MikeKincaid79 3 года назад

LOL at the hidden shed! That's what I love about this plant, it's so aggressive that you can cut it to the ground and within 2 years it will be over your head again and even more compact and thicker, making a nicer hedge. I would never recommend it to someone in a neighborhood that didn't have much room in the yard unless they were committed to pruning twice a year. I live in a great climate for these and they grow so well and are beautiful when cared for.

I am in process of propagating both native mountain Laurel and rhododendron- native only (no judgement on your English Laurel….I just prefer native. I’d like to know what that timeline was from sticking the “cuts” into your rooting medium, and pulling the first specimen with roots? Nice video, however.

They have fine (hair like) roots, which are much different than the thick robust roots of English laurel. They take longer to root and I take those cuttings later in the summer. Here's a link to a video about rooting rhododendrons (which are my favorite plant): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TzAq5yMVktI.html

Hello Mike! I am from Europe, Hungary Firstly I want to thank you for having this helpful video! I started my propagation of english laurel aswell in the early of april, but having mold problems, i put a plastic bag of them. Not sure if I remove the plastic bag the roots will come because it will remove humidity, also please can you tell me which weather is the best to start? I started in 5-10 celsius degree, not sure it's too cold or the summer will be the best to do it? Using rooting powder for some, and trying without it + using cinnamon for a few ! :) I planted about 100-120, hope a lot of them will survive! :) Thank you very much and would lovely to see another vidoes of them, I am also interested in planting leylandi cipruss for a hedge. :) Keep it up please!You are very helpful!

@MikeKincaid79 2 года назад

there is no exact rule. I like to cut them in half to encourage strong branching from further down. As they grow more branches, you can cut less material off.

Crepe myrtle is one I get asked about a lot and I plan to do that eventually. You don't see them growing in my area much so I may need to order that one online. As far as limes, I'll need a greenhouse first because they won't survive here. There is a cold hardy lemon I could work with.

@deckchaironthetitanic 3 года назад

@@MikeKincaid79 I figured you didn't have limes, but I assumed that propagation of diff. trees would be a similar process? Am I wrong? Thanks Mike & Happy New Year.

You're correct. I may have to find a cold hardy lemon to work with so I can do some videos about citrus. Happy New Year!

Any specific reason you cut the leaves? (Avoid extra evaporation? Growth stimulation?)

Avoid extra evaporation and create better air flow around the cuttings.

Really nice video, i will try with my Portugese Laurel, but i wish to know how to make it more bushy and with more then 1 stem coming from the ground. Have to top it while is smaller so it can grow branches on the side?

@MikeKincaid79 2 года назад

Yes, early pruning will force it to branch out more and become bushy.

Being Irish we call them common loural. Try Portuguese loural. Slower growing but a nicer hedge

I like Portuguese laurel too. It grows much slower though, so you have to be patient. You're right though, it makes a nicer hedge in time.

I followed along with your 4-part series and have many beautiful plants now! I propagated in 2020, transferred to 1-gal pots this summer, and they grew like weeds. Would you recommend planting now or waiting another full year in the 1-gal pots? We are building a house and want a hedge for privacy, just wondering if waiting longer would help or if it doesn’t matter that much. (We are also in western WA).

@MikeKincaid79 2 года назад

If you're talking about English Laurel then you can definitely plant them now. They are such hardy plants and should grow well for you come spring.

I don't heat the hoop house so it's generally only a degree or 2 warmer inside. I took these cuttings in the summer and I remember that it was very hot at the time (for our area). I think the temps were in the 80's and 90's.

Is that aged bark mulch you are using to pot those up? If so curious why you don’t use a soil less potting mix. Thanks

@MikeKincaid79 Год назад

Bark is a soil less potting mix. It's actually not aged, it's fairly fresh. Aged would be better for rooted plants. More nutrients.

@LeakLocators Год назад

@@MikeKincaid79 That’s cool. I was afraid of using it because I heard it sucks up all the nitrogen. Thanks

Bark has no nitrogen really, and so I fertilize with a high nitrogen fertilizer once the cuttings are rooted.

I feed my plants once in the spring with a slow release fertilizer. Moving them in the early spring won't bother them or slow growth. The amount of sun, water, and fertilizer is what will determine growth.

Hi Mike, I was a City boy and have been in the country for 15 years, happy to have planted 90 ish trees on my 1 acre which are anything from 5 feet to 40 feet. Just wondering if I can take cuttings from all my laurels in October and do it all outside or is it the wrong time?

@MikeKincaid79 2 года назад

Hey Chris, the best time to take these cuttings is in mid summer. That being said, they root fairly easily so you may be able to get them to root from cuttings taken now. If you stick them now they won't grow roots without bottom heat through the winter, so you'll need to have that setup. Some people like to wait a little longer, after the plants go dormant, and take hardwood cuttings. If you do that, then you can just stick them in sand and wait. No bottom heat required. It will take longer for them to root though, and again, they won't really start forming roots until the weather warms up again. Hope that helps and good luck!
