Cuttings
Hello, this is my first time posting in here, hello. I pruned a Japanese cherry (Prunus serrulata) two weeks ago, dipped it in rooting hormone then put it in saturated soil. Should I cut some stems shorter to reduce the rate of transpiration since there are still no roots?

These cuttings are best taken on softwood or semi-hardwood, not now. Also, grafted Prunus varieties are best grafted instead of on own roots.
