Trees are wonderful for the garden and a balm for the soul. As absorbers of carbon dioxide, they help to combat climate change, and being under the dappled shade of one can reduce your stress levels and improve your sense of wellbeing.
Recreating a handsome tree that you might be admiring in your neighbor’s yard is easier to do than you might think – if they generously allow you to take a small offcut or branch. Stem cutting is a propagation technique that can be used on herbaceous and woody plants.
