    How does the hardness of the water affect success?

    No idea. We have hard water.

    We have hard water and I've rooted cuttings in it.
    Walnut doesn't work in water, but I can't get them going in soil either.. 😕

    I’ve got a nice sweet chestnut tree growing from a save one at Christmas.
    I don’t know if it will ever produce nuts?

    You might get a silver nutmeg and a golden pear @Lyn

    That would be good,  I’ll look forward to that 😀

    Daughter gave me a cutting from a passionflower plant at the end of June. It’s been in water since then, and just checked yesterday.

    Endeavour to persevere @Uff 😉
    I'm thinking that in the current drought situation, rooting in water might be the best option. At least you don't have to worry about keeping your cuttings watered!
