Rooting of Cuttings from Second-Growth Redwood Trees and Sprouts May Be Practical
Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don) Endl.) is noted for its many unique features, including unusual sprouting ability. Metcalf (1) reported on early studies of the artificial reproduction of the species by vegetative means, and several investigators are now working in this area. However, there are few published results. The study reported here was conducted to compare the rooting ability of cuttings from basal sprouts and branches of secondgrowth trees.
