Anyone familiar with propagating this wonderful tree used in Bonsai? I've never had luck with this.

Huh - I tried to Google it but didn't come up with any hits - is there a common name?

But I guess that answers you question from this quarter - no, I have no idea! But there are a lot of people with experience in taking cuttings from woody plants if you have a plant to cut from...

There are a couple letters flipped around in the name...I think the correct spelling is Zanthoxylum. I still don't know anything about the tree, but at least that should help in the googling. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Zanthoxylum

Woops, I sure did type it in wrong! Dislexia...
Actually, I propagate a lot of woodies, but this one is real stubborn! I guess that's why it's not real common. It's my favorite little tree out of about 25 varieties. The shape is perfect and foliage smells heavenly! I bought it a few years ago from Robs' Violet Barn. Maybe I'll try to contact him.

Yeah, typical of life in general! It's human nature to try to harness all things utterly wonderful, but I'm a bit relieved, actually that some things are just not meant to be, and ya know? It's really OK.
