Should You Score Cuttings? Plant Propagation

Scrape a little extra skin or bark from the base of your cuttings? It's sometimes called "scoring" and it's a common bit of plant propagation advice. As with so many methods, the answer of whether you should give it a try comes down to the variety, and your willingness to experiment. I find that most shrubs and perennials root fairly easily with basic techniques, and without scoring. If I get good results without the extra handling, why change it up? Because there are likely difficult-to-root varieties where this method will make the difference between success and failure.
