Hello wonderful people, Let me tell you how much I enjoy your "gardentalk". I am still a woman with an office job, living in the city, hoping to retire soon and buy a small house in the country with a large garden. In preparation of this joyful event I have taken cuttings of many of my favorite plants. I have never been able to propagate my magnolia stellata. This lovely bush is in full flower now. When I bought it in the nursery I picked the one with the best scent. You can smell it some distance away from the bush! How do I propagate this lovely plant? Love, Maria
