How alive do buds have to look to be alive? I ask this because I have cutting with buds that stick out and are green, brown, or even a reddish color. I assume that the brown buds with become green under the right conditions right? Some buds are flat and barely noticeable on the nodes appearing lifeless. Is it possible that this flat lifeless buds will swell becoming a new branch or leaf. Some of my cutting only have one "fat" green bud that is below the soil while the rest are flat and stick above. I just want to know before i cut them off. __________________ Jarrett Spokane, WA ZONE 6A Proudly Serving in the United States Armed Forces, 2009-Present Everyone should have a green thumb Figs: Nero600m

I wouldn't remove any buds. Fully dormant buds are usually brown, but green if the "scales" are removed. Buds that are breaking dormancy and which had shed their scales woud be green. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere
