It is one of nature’s natural ways to increase shrubs with low-growing stems (see page 33). Trees with a pendulous or low habit are further candidates, as well as some climbers. Each new plant is identical to its parent, and it is an easy and popular way to increase plants. However, rooting is not quick, and during the period of rooting it is essential to keep the soil free from weeds and moderately moist. Some plants, such as blackberries and hybrid berries, can be ‘tip-layered’ by burying the tips of shoots (see page 33).
