This is how we make cuttings if anyone is interested.
cabernet sauvignon canes fresh from pruning
making cuttings - the base is square cut and the
top is cut at a 45 degree angle. This enables you
to tell top from bottom. cuttings are between 12-14".
i put them in bundles of 25
you can see the square cut and the 45
dig a hole
lay bundles upside down in hole - bottom up
cover with about 1" of dirt and then plastic and secure edges. The sun and
moisture - condensation- will do the rest. In April when
I dig them up most of them will have roots anywhere
from 2 - 4". Dig your hole and root end goes down.
You are basically making a up-side down hothouse.
This is how we do it here and it seems to work pretty well.
Hope it helps you too!!
