I have access to some Ashe Juniper trees in the Texas Hill Country. I am wondering if there is a way to root these trees from cuttings. I know they can grow from seed but they can take a long time to grow that way. I watched a video about rooting Junipers and took a bunch of new growth cuttings but not one of them were successful in seed starting mix with a humidity dome and grow lights. Most of them stayed green but formed no roots after over a month. It was a different variety of Juniper, though, that the video was made about. So, I am wanting to know about this particular variety and if anyone has had any experience with it.

I work with juniper in Colorado and the only way we know to propagate them is transplant them or use the seed. The easiest way to plant them is to recover the seed from coyote and bear droppings. This way they are already activated and ready to grow. Kinda gross, but it beats having to gather the seeds, strip off the flesh, and then treat with acid.
 
It's just like a fortune cookie, but instead of a cookie, it's pie. And we'll call it ... tiny ad:
