Hi Del,

Tried to root some cherry-plums last spring, 100% failure.

You need a misting cabinet for prunus, and use 50/50 vermiculite and
perlite.

I used a high humidity box, but that was not enough.  Possibly an
ultrasonic mister (with pure water) would work inside the misting box.

I have a link for a web page somewhere.  Will find it and send it later.

Timing of cuttings is important too.

Tom
