Per the questions asking what my uses would be for the root-cuttings, or, 
what I'm trying to achieve and whether roots is the best way.  I was hoping 
to decide that once I learned about root-cutting propagation.  The info I 
found via internet searches seemed contradictory, and hidden in big 
documents which took forever to download.

Its something I'd never bothered with because I didn't have a use for it, 
but now I'm possibly needing to prove at least one tree is indeed a 
chance-seedling on its own roots.

Also, I'm beginning evaluations of an apple tree which has an impressive 
root characteristic, and wondering if root-cuttings is the best way to start 
a few-to-several little trees for testing in other sites.  This project is 
complicated by the tree being owned by someone else, so I want to present 
the owner with the best & most info I can about all the options for 
propagating/ increasing and eventually distributing this possibly helpful 
new rootstock.
