About Tom Alonzo
Expertise
I have been growing plants from seeds for at least 20 years. I have grown literally hundreds of different kinds of vegetables, trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, tropicals, some cacti, water plants, iris, rose, lilies, cannas, etc. I enjoy starting from seed.

Experience
I've been growing my own seeds for 20 years with indoor propagation equipment I built myself. I am also an Allexperts volunteer on the perennial forum. I have completed the Master Gardener course through the Kansas State University Extension. I have experience with a wide variety of seeds and I have also read through Norm Deno's books on seed germination.

Seeding and Propagation - snowball bush suckers

Expert: Tom Alonzo - 6/24/2009

Question
How do I cut suckers off my snowball bush (they are very close to the bottom of the bush,all around it) and how do I then plant them to get them to grow?

Answer
Hi Gail,
Thanx for your question. Carefully, dig around the sucker until you locate roots and then sever it from the mother plant. Replant the suckers in the desired location and water them frequently. Side dress with well-composted cow manure. I hope this helps.
Tom
