I would like to have the synopsis for rooting pecan cuttings.  Please be as specific as you can.  Should you, for instance; use green wood, or dormant?

Thanks a heap for the offer.

In the 1990 NNGA annual report , Loy Shreve gave a recipe to root the the 
adventitious shoots of Texas black walnut using rooting hormone and cardboard 
milk 
cartons.I believe it would possibly transpose to pecan.If any one is interested, 
I could post a synopsis.

  There were some rooted in LA when I was there, but it is very difficult. The 
rooted cuttings tended not to live after rooting from dormant cuttings. I wonder 
if greenwood would work better. Maybe someone else has more info. Bottom heat 
was used.
