JUVENILITY AS A FACTOR IN PROPAGATING QUERCUS VIRGINIANA MILL. |
| Authors: | D.L. Morgan, E.L. McWilliams |
| Abstract:
The Southern live oak (Quercus virginiana Mill.), commonly grown from acorns commercially, was successfully propagated with juvenile stem tip cuttings and suckers under intermittent mist. Differences in rooting response were demonstrated between juvenile and adult wood, and apparent genetic differences in ability to root appeared among trees selected for cuttings. Stem caliper had an apparent effect on ability to root. | |
