    Hi all, Was hoping that there was someone who could let me know the best time to take cuttings of Ruta graveolens and also the type of cuttings to take. Thanks Darren

    About the only thing I don't see in the literature is dormant cuttings. Early spring green cuttings, July/August for semi mature stem cuttings, layering anytime, root division preferably when dormant. By the way, be careful with this one if you are contemplating herbal medicinal uses. It has a number of dangerous effects.
