7 hardwood cuttings to take in January for free plants

One of the best ways to bag yourself new plants without buying them? Work out which hardwood cuttings to take in January.

Taking cuttings is light work for the number of free plants you can grow from them, and right now, while the garden is cold and dormant, it’s the ideal time to take hardwood cuttings from deciduous shrubs. You’ll just need to get your measurements right if you want to propagate new plants successfully (and take cuttings from the right part of the plant, of course).

Below, you’ll find a list of seven plants you can take hardwood cuttings from this month to multiply your collection (for free!).
