I have one in the basement that I tried for while, I did not have much 
success with woody material, but I think I need to revisit it. It works great 
with basil and tomatoes though. 


If you have ant special tricks or tips, I would love to here it

Subject: [nafex ibiblio list] cloning machines
 
I have been thinking about getting a cloning machine for a couple years. I
got busy with some other things, so I put off the purchase. This system is
used for rooting cuttings. Google "cloning machine" if you want more
details.

A little over a month ago I purchased a cloning machine called OxyClone.
With just water circulating by a small pump, I have had roots form on
cuttings without the need for rooting hormones. The list of plants that
have rooted so far include Rosa canina, Goumi, tomato, and basil. I have
some asian pear cuttings that have formed a big callus like they are trying
to send out root hairs. I took the cuttings in November. I think I may have
more success with cuttings of new growth in early summer.

I would like to hear if any other NAFEX people have had success with a
cloning machine. I have been looking for papers or textbooks that discuss
this method of propagation. If anyone can help me find some reference
material on this topic, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Mark Lee, Seattle

One problem with an organization like Geneva picking up the Botner collection 
is that there have been, occasionally, errors in the cultivar identity, where 
cultivars grown from Botner scionwood turn out to be (clearly) something 
besides what was labeled. A private collector with lots of cultivars can be 
excused a few errors, but a large, formal collection doesn't have so much of 
an allowance. The management of such a large number of cultivars can be a 
nightmare, which might be possible only with a very dedicated grower such as 
Botner.
