The winter months give you time to reflect on your garden and plan for the future. If you have deciduous shrubs that you really like and want more of, then they may be plants to propagate in December.
Hardwood cuttings can be taken from deciduous shrubs and trees during their dormancy period from mid-fall to late winter. Taking hardwood cuttings in winter requires patience, as it is a slower method than softwood cuttings, but they are simple to do and the reward is new and identical plants for free.
