Propagation and scion swapping

Has anybody here successfully send Hydrangea cuttings through the mail and gotten them to root?

I have done it with Camellias, but was thinking Hydrangeas are too succulent to attempt it.

Thanks!

As long as they are not too young, well packed and the weather temps are ok, I do not see why not but I have not mailed them. I just wanted to suggest that you also check in the Plant Exchange Forum (specially the posts titled "HAVE ,,, hydrangeas " or "WANT ... hydrangeas"). If unsure about the time, check to see if hydrangea mail order nurseries are making deliveries by mail.

I ordered some rose cuttings online last month and roses aren't as tender as hydrangeas. When I received them they were dried to a crisp and useless for propagating. It would be your best bet to look for already rooted cuttings. There are some Nikko blues and other varieties of rooted cuttings available for purchase on ebay. However I ordered a 1.5 gallon hydrangea plant a few weeks ago and when it arrived it was cooked from the heat. It had been in the 80's. They are very sensitive. The plant lost all of its foliage and is now beginning to leaf back out but it looked rough for a while and I was worried. I live in zone 6b.

Thanks Raven - I know what you mean! Have you or anyone else had left over wood and tried to graft with it the following year? About 75% of the 2010 scions I have look totally fine. I kept them exactly at 34 degrees with damp (not wet) paper towels in ziplock bags. I have some dormant potted M7 and M111 and I was considering grafting them now and storing them in a cool place (garage, barn or basement) just to see what happens.

lycheeluva, I would like to try those gages on my Italian plum. Might even help a bit with fruit set. I have many patented and young varieties that limits my selection for scion wood. The plum trees I have for scion wood are; Superior, Toka, Stanley, Italian, Santa rosa. The young plum trees for scion wood next or maybe late season; Shiro, Alderman, Improved Duarte, Spring satin plumcot, Methley.

Darren, I am willing to try a few. But need to know your growing zone - Sunset if possible so we know that if they do root, they will have a chance. I am in 8b, PNW.
