constant improvement of cloning-hormone-acid for cuttings toeliminate all grafting
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. Archimedes Plutonium www.iw.net/~a_plutonium whole entire Universe is just one big atom where dots of the electron-dot-cloud are galaxies |

Somehow the hot temperature works in favor. I am glad I put laurel-willow cuttings alongside rock-elm; give me guidance and prompting. Five laurel-willow sent out some leaves and two rock-elm did the same, only the willow took half the time. Today I made ready potting soil for I was transplanting those seven cuttings with leaves. Come to find out that all five laurel-willow had numerous white roots attached. Come to find out that neither of the two rock-elm had roots attached. Perhaps they were so fine that I missed seeing them? I presume they were not rooted at all, but that the stem had enough reserved energy to send a bud out to green leaf. I have seen this reaction on many tree trunks that I have sawed down such as popular and oak where the trunk has enough energy to sent out buds and leaves even though it no longer has a root system. So I am back to square one with rock-elm, hoping to get one or two cuttings rooted out of approx 50. I placed the two rock-elm into the potting soil after rebathing the end in a hormone-gel. Back to square one where rock-elm is tough to make cuttings. I think that if a species is easy enough to propagate via cuttings that the species is not in danger of going extinct.
