I admit I don't do much rooting of anything; I even have trouble getting willows to root! I hope others will post their success stories and offer suggestions.

Aren't the OFxHs produced in stooling beds ?

Tanis,

What process do you use to root these softwood cuttings? In the ground outside, in special rooting media in containers outside, under mist in a greenhouse, or plastic tenting under artificial lights, with or without bottom heat? What are your experiences with that process?

I am interested in propagating the pear rootstocks (OHXF, etc.). Any experiences you can share would be helpful. I can propagate the Quince rootstocks with no problems. I have more than I can use but the true pear rootstocks are a hurdle.

Thanks,
Bob
Western Washington
