I posted the information on heel cuttings by putting the link in my above post.
But as I sometimes do, I don’t look at all links at the first reading.
So here is the definition of a heel cutting in my own words.
A heel cutting is a cutting made from a branch growing from the main stem.
This can be done by simply tearing the branch off by pulling down on the stem towards the beginning of the stem it is being removed from.
Be careful not to tear off all of the bark.
This leaves part of the main stem on the cutting you desire to root.
You can also do this by using a knife.
I prefer to just tear them off myself.
Trim away any excess material at the base of the cutting such as a long strip of bark.(you have all seen this from tearing off branches I’m sure.)
For more information all you have to do is Google heel rooting or heel cutting and you will get more information than you need to root plants.
And better yet here is a picture of a heel cutting.
