striking myrtle cuttings for topiary
I recently bought three myrtle plants through mail order to use for topiary. The main stems of the plants had been snipped so that the plants would branch which makes it impossible to use these plants for a standard. What is the best way to strike myrtle cuttings so that I can have new plants in which to use for standards? I am speaking of myrtus communis microphylla by the way. Any advice would be greatly appreciated since all previous attempts at striking cutting have been unsuccessful.
