| A heel cutting is just one method of preparing a cutting for vegetative propagation. It's a method usually used for woody plants that initiate root primordia on older wood. A mallet cutting would be very similar to a heel cutting except that it would have an entire crossected piece of the main stem where the cutting was attached. Al |
