Transplanting wild shrubs

[hank4elk]

Dug some wildings a few years back. 6-8 ft aspens. Have 1 left growing and it bloomed this week. Another hole had 4 and none made it...until 3 years ago a sprout came up. 12 ft now. Another came up last year.
Moving the wild rose to the bottom lands next week that came out of same wildings clump found in dry stream bed.

Took some aspen branches cut and laying on the ground and placed in coastal stream bed. Aspen grove now I hear, along with a redwood burl grove.

You can cut Aspen before they bud. We put them in a 5 gallon pail with water and rooting liquid. Then we drilled holes and stuck them in the dirt. They rooted and were doing well. Until I got worried about over use of the well and shut the water off. They were less than half inch around when we cut them. But you have to do it before they leaf out. Can do cottonwoods that way too.

I tried that once without success. But if you get any roots they seem to do fine.
