question 4 of 10
hardwood cuttings may be taken ______.
○ a. only during the months of september, october, march, and april
○ b. throughout the winter months
○ c. up to the first hard freeze
○ d. when temperatures remain above 60 degrees fahrenheit

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the options related to hardwood cuttings. Hardwood cuttings are typically taken when the plant is dormant, which is up to the first hard freeze (as this is when dormancy is still maintained before severe cold sets in). Option a limits to specific months which is too restrictive, option b (throughout winter) is incorrect as after the first hard freeze conditions may not be suitable, and option d (above 60°F) is when the plant is likely active, not dormant for hardwood cuttings.

Answer:

c. up to the first hard freeze
