It is important not to cut them off, but to demolish them. At the wound, the so-called Rindzunge, better roots form than at a straight interface. Now all you have to do is remove the side shoots. In a seed pot in a bright place soon show the first new shoots. A foil additionally promotes the growth of your new jaw. The following spring, the cuttings are designed so that you can put them outside.
