Pro-mix has organic fertilizers which will not harm the cuttings..

These are the tips of several different cuttings. This end goes up! Warning! Cuttings are not returnable. Once out of the freezer, they must be planted...soon. A Pendula Willow Cutting All the cuttings listed in this page are from the trees I grow in my back yard. I supply 2 bud UNROOTED cuttings that are between 3 and 5 inches long and 1/16" to 5/16" thick, The top bud is about 1/4" from the top of the cutting. These cuttings are less fragile than the rooted ones. Rooted cuttings must be handled very carefully to avoid breaking the roots. If you order cuttings today and the soil is still frozen where you are, remember that the cuttings must be planted within 2 weeks, weather it is outside (drill holes in the ice) or in containers indoors. You can plant these cuttings outdoors during the winter a long as the soil is workable. The only problem you may find is the weather cycles of freezing and thawing. Every time that occurs, the cuttings are pushed up and up and up until eventually you will find them on top of the ground. To prevent this, put the cuttings all the way in the soil so only the top of the cutting can be seen. There is no need to open up a hole for these, just push them in with one finger until your finger touches the soil. That's deep enough. I don't like to plant hybrid poplar cuttings in the ground because 6 months later I would need a back hoe to dig them out. That is the reason I plant all my cuttings in bags. (for bags go to http://www.hybridpoplars.com/prices7.htm) Much easier to sell the trees too. Growing cuttings in hot weather Cuttings must have roots in place before the buds sprout. In the summer time try to keep the cuttings at 80 degrees or below and in the shade. Allowing them to get too hot, will make them sprout in record time and the cuttings will not have time to create roots to keep up with the growth upstairs... subsequently the cuttings will die. In case you don't know exactly what growing zone you are in, here is a link that allows you to enter your zip code and tells you your zone. National garden Association. Planting early indoors If you are one of those people who like to get started earlier, you can start cuttings indoors as long as you provide them with 60-70 degree ambient temperature and 12-14 hours of light every day. They can be taken out when the outside temperature is at least 40 degrees overnight. Do you like to experiment? So do I. A word of advise: Don't try 1 bud cuttings. I have and the results were really bad. Only about 70% of them sprouted and from those half died within the first 3 weeks... and I was doing this with OP-367. I rarely get any casualties from this clone.
