Vegetative propagation of Arctostaphylos Adans. Colorado style

Success in rooting cold-hardy Arctostaphylos Adans. [Ericaceae] cuttings in Colorado is measured by particular attention to harvest timing, cutting preparation, sanitation, and media characteristics. Propagation methods used in Colorado piggyback on those used elsewhere and serve to simplify sometimes complex, if not unsuccessful, procedures. The vegetative propagation techniques and materials presented here should enable propagators to successfully root cold-hardy Arctostaphylos in high numbers.
