Taking Cuttings of 'Jane' Magnolia - Propagating a Deciduous Magnolia

This time of year is an excellent time to start making more plants with plant propagation. Today I took some cuttings of a Magnolia x 'Jane' which is a deciduous magnolia that grows best in plant hardiness zones 4-7. Jane is often called a "Tulip Tree" due to its tulip like flowers that bloom in the Spring.

Our original plant came from a layered branch cuttings at my in-laws house and today is about 8 feet tall. For this video I took 15 cuttings of the'Jane' magnolia and snuck in 3 cuttings of Oak Leaf hydrangeas. Why not?

I've not rooted 'Jane' magnolias before and thought now would be a good time to try it. Hopefully in 6 to 8 weeks I'll be able to share the results with you.
