| Nov 15, 2017 at 13:35 | comment | added | Ben | @bamboo Michael Dirr wrote a wonderful book called The Reference Manual for Woody Plant Propagation, it's mostly geared towards the production nursery but very informative none the less. He states that V. negundo is easy to root, and propagation is similar to V. agnus-castus. Basically he suggests this - take softwood cutting in May-July before the inflorescences appear. Dip in root-tone, and plant in a peat moss:perlite mix and mist until rooting starts. Stop misting as soon as as roots appear. | |

| Nov 15, 2017 at 11:32 | comment | added | Bamboo | The one I'm familiar with is Vitex agnus-castus, but, although your plant may tolerate some pruning which leaves half the plant intact, if the leaves are constantly being removed to the point where there are rarely any, it may not survive. I'm finding it difficult to find out how to take cuttings or propagate Vitex negundo, but if you could propagate it, you could grow it elsewhere, somewhere it won't constantly be cropped. If I find anything, I'll do an answer... | |
