Hi,
Does anyone know the science behind why cuttings from young plants are more
likely to root sucessfully? RHS exam looming large...................

TIA

Off the top of my head (my biology studies were a long time ago), I
would have thought that more of the 'grow roots' auxins were being
produced in the plant. I shall be interested to find out if that is
broadly the answer the RHS want.
