Real Majik wands

Autumn hard wood cuttings taken from a guelder rose in my garden. They are this year's wood

cut just below a growth bud, dipped in rooting hormone solution (willow wands immersed for a few days in water) then pushed into the ground.

And here is the bed, the following March, buds bursting into life although not fully leafed yet, for anyone concerned that it can't be that easy.
