Dogwood Fail

Needed to admit defeat on my Dogwood Propagation. There was not a single cutting that developed roots. I question two things as most likely causing my problems (other than my brown thumb). First was that the soil probably was too acidic for the plant and, secondly, I believe I actually took cuttings from a plant that had sprouted at the base of the dogwood and it wasn’t even a dogwood. Ha, how about that for going wrong? I will try again next season and will attempt to do a better job of preparation for the task.
