Steckling
greenwood cutting = Steckling oder Rissling
Greenwood cuttings are from young stems that are starting to mature, but still in the first year. They're usually taken in early to midsummer. Plants such as gardenia and boxwood tend to root well from greenwood cuttings.
heel cutting = die Stecklinge werden abgerissen und daher auch Risslinge genannt
Heel cuttings are made from side shoots produced on stems two or more years old. To make the cuttings, pull the side shoots from the main stem. Pull directly away from the tip end of the main stem. This usually leaves a heel of older, main-stem tissue attached to the basal end of the side shoot. The heel cutting also can be cut from the main stem with a knife.
Greenwood cutting that are not cut but peeled or ripped of the main stem are often called "Risslinge"
