[IBC] Root growing from cuttings

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. Dan Oaks are extremely difficult to root from cuttings, better leave those for experts and grow them from seed (acorns) which is very easy. Some maples are easy, others difficult, it depends on the species. Semi hardwood cuttings in summer is the preferred method for most cuttings these days. This is explained in the Cuttings article that I pointed out to you. Willows don't need hormone at all. Most maples require a fairly high IBA content, but again it varies with the species. ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Chris Cochrane++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
