I can see a direction in the technology of botany towards the
elimination of grafting. How much easier
and less time consuming to make a cutting propagation rather than to
make a graft.

I think with the constant steady improvement of hormonal-acid that
cuttings could reach a point where
they surpass all grafting applications. So that in the future, to
graft is a waste of time and money.

I have used Schultz "Take Root" powder and achieved a 7 out of 28 rock-
elm success rate. So that
is 25% success on powder hormone. I have recently bought gel of a
higher concentration of hormone
acid and will see the success rate on it.

One thing of note is that where I keep the cuttings is usually about
80 degree fahrenheit
but on many occasions can reach a 100 degree fahrenheit temperature
but it seems to be beneficial. Somehow the hot temperature works in
favor.
