Have tried several differnet methods, but nothing seems to happen

When and how do I take Magnolia cuttings?
have you tried airlayering .august cut a shoot half way through and sprinkle with rooting powder.


push moist spagnum moss into slit .


wrap with clear plastic bag eg polythene bag tie around wound and wait . in afew weeks you will see roots .if nothing happens take off bags you cannot damage tree


the other way is to find a branch close to ground cut half way through near leaf joint and bury the branch into the ground this can be done late spring after flowering up until late summer


good luck
