Well, the cuttings I'm trying to grow roots on are oak. White
oak and
black oak I thing they are. I tried growing maple by root
stimulation from
cuttings but with no luck. However the only luck I've had has
bin with
willow. The willow cuttings grew roots after about 2 weeks. I
don't know
if it was because of the gel or because willows( I've read) are
very easy
to propagate. I also read that cuttings should be taken in
winter, but can
also be taken in mid summer.

I think you will find the oaks to be very difficult to root.
Maples -- depending on the species -- are fairly easy, and as you
noted willow roots easily.

Read Brent's article on rooting as suggested earlier.

I have no experience with Oak cuttings. I do all mine from Acorns - very
easy. Maple shouldn't be too difficult. Again it does depend on the
type. Follow the detailed advice given in good books and provide the
correct conditions of shade, mist and warmth at the right time of year
for the type of cutting. You should usually achieve a good success rate.


Willow can be rooted with almost 100% success in a bucket of water!

Hardwood generally in winter, outdoors in slit trenches. Soft and semi
hard-wood generally in july/august.

I have never seen a successful rooting of an Oak cutting. I have
rooted Japanese Maples. I have grown both from seed with ease.

There was a rumor that if one tried to airlayer oak,
let the airlayer calus, then one had hopes of getting
roots if the arilayer was cut off and treated as a
cutting. I never got it to work.

Our chairman ground layered an oak with a split bucket. It took two
years and is now a show-stopper. It won best in show at the National
Society (Southport) 2001 (I think).
