Practical Guide to Dutch Roll Propagation of Hardwood Cuttings

This practical guide demonstrates the process of preparing Dutch rolls for propagating hardwood cuttings. With careful placement of cuttings approximately 2 cm apart on a 2 cm layer of compost within black plastic, secure rolling is essential. Each finished Dutch roll is labeled and can be placed in a north-facing cold frame from November to March, with protection against vermin in harsh winters. Throughout this period, no watering is necessary. By March or April, a callus will develop at the base of the cuttings, which includes various species like Griselinia littoralis and Ilex aquifolium.

  1. Propagation practical

  2. This shows the Dutch roll in preparation with the 2 cm soil on the black plastic.

  3. The hardwood cuttings are placed approximately 2 cm apart at about halfway on the compost.

  4. This photograph shows the very tight rolling of the Dutch roll.

  5. The Dutch roll is tied securely. A plant label is also tied on at this stage.

  6. The finished Dutch roll complete with label. This can be placed in a north cold frame from November to March. It is important, howeve,rto protect from vermin especially in cold winters. No watering should be necessary over this period. In March/April there should be a callus developed at the base of the cutting.

  7. The cuttings in the seed tray are:Red arrow = semi-ripe cutting of Griselinialittoralis‘Bantry Bay’. Blue arrow = hardwood evergreen cutting of Ilex aquifolium‘Silver Queen’. Yellow arrow = softwood cuttings of Helianthemumnumulariumand the green arrow is a leaf bud cutting of Hedera helix.

  8. This photograph shows hardwood cuttings collected and ready for preparation by the propagator.
