  I have had near 100% by sticking them in a old wood chip pile in the late 
fall before freeze, and early spring when I had to at some times use a steel 
rod to drive a hole deep enough to put the cuttings in. I use about 12 inch 
lengths and make a one inch cutting one each side before I stick them in the 
rootone and put into the hole and leave only one bud showing.

Subject: [NAFEX] rooting kiwis?

I have a co-worker who's wanting to plant some kiwis to run over a pergola 
or something like that in his backyard.  Told him I'd give him some cuttings 
from some of mine.

Now, the question is, what is the best time to strike cuttings - and the 
best method for reasonable succes in getting hardy kiwi cuttings to root.

Seems like I stuck some prunings, taken just before bud-break, in the 
ground, several years ago, and had reasonable succes, but I may be 
misremembering.
