PROPAGATION

Young canes should always be used as layers, and they should be put down as early in the season as they are of sufficient size to be handled, say from the middle of August to the middle of September. Propagating by layers should be done by bending the young canes to the ground, and covering their ends with earth, just sufficiently to keep the wind from displacing them. If the canes are well covered, they will generally root in two or three weeks.SFCC 13.5
