I sure hope commercial nurseries read what Jim Fruth just said.  I have had 
beautiful fruit trees which eventually broke off due to using a slow growing 
rootstock and a fast growing top.  At least we are informed and it is our 
fault if this happens. It is happening on a Mayhaw presently.  I think it is 
on a Quince rootstock.
Donna just about covered everything you need to know about rooting cuttings 
except the religious axioms about paying the preacher and going to church 
and praying a lot.  I talk to my cuttings.  I say; "If you don't root, I'll 
feed you to the hogs." (expletives deleted)
