Winter planting of summer cutting | 4 month timelapse rooting Japanese Maples 

The process of taking cuttings can take a while. I have taken lots of cuttings in early spring but in summer I usually do not take cuttings. So I decided to take rough bark Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'arakawa') cuttings at the peak of summer. Now, in early winter, I am taking a look at the outcome and draw some conclusions on the optimal size for Japanese maple cuttings, and timing them.
