propagating photinia

Read your article and I am new to the plant and the area I’m living. (Just moved) I don’t know how to propagate a photinia. The article said to cut 3 segments or 3 nodes. Would that be a stem with 3 different branches. Thank you for any information you can give me.

A node is anywhere that a leaf resides. If it is old enough for the leaf to have fallen off and a branch to be grown in its place then it will still be considered a node. You really want to try for single branch tips, since they root much easier, and faster. As long as you can leave 3 leaves intact and still have enough room to insert it in the soil, then you will be good to go.
