Snowball – Rooting Options
Q: My parents have a gorgeous snowball bush. Is it possible to root a piece for myself from their bush?
A: I think the best way to propagate woody shrubs is to do something called “air layering”. The process involves wounding a limb and wrapping the wound with sphagnum moss that’s kept moist for eight weeks. It’s pretty simple to do and you can get several rooted starts from the same plant.
