My three rooted cuttings are showing top growth and vigorous rooting. My question is should I pot them up now or wait until more top growth is shown? And should I try and remove as much of my rooting mix as I can or should I plant it as is? I have no idea what variety I have, I took the cuttings from a tree I found in the neighborhood. They may well be Brown Turkey or Texas Everlasting, they are the most common varieties here in north Texas. Thanks to all. Attached Images IMG_0714.JPG (338.73 KB, 32 views)

Leave them in the clear cups until they almost look root bound. It works for me. __________________ Cecil (Z 8b?) in the sticks of E.Tx (Elkhart/Palestine TX)

There are so many opinions: You could leave it and wait til it has no more room. You could transfer out to next size container upon seeing enough roots to support top growth ( what I do). Not always a sure thing. Once you transfer, don't bother trying to shake anything loose. More damage to roots could be done. My rule of thumb- Success is not acheived until season 2 when it starts to grow again __________________ Dominick Zone 6a-MA
