Indigenous Tree and shrub propagation with Gary Schneider

Join us March 12th for an informative propagation workshop right from your home or office! During the two hour workshop we will teach you the tips and tricks to propagating some of our native tree, shrub and wildflower species.

The workshop will begin with an informative talk, discussion, and demonstrations about several tree and shrub propagation techniques. It will be followed by a question and discussion session.

In this hands-on workshop led by Gary Schneider from Macphail Woods, participants will learn to collect and propagate cuttings from native shrubs, seed collection and propagationaswell as transplanting from the wild.

This webinar is tailored for restoration specialists, nursery managers, landowners, gardeners and silviculturists.

This event is funded in part by NRCan's 2 Billion Trees Program.

This webinar will be held in English with live interpretation available in French.


Quick Facts:

Although they vary considerably in technique, all vegetative propagation methods are a form of asexual reproduction. The objective is to make multiple "copies" or clones of an individual plant. Species that root easily can be propagated with rooted cuttings .This process involves collecting stem or root sections, treating the lower part with rooting hormones (if necessary), and then inserting into a growing medium until they form roots. Not all trees and shrubs can be propagated this way.
