hi AT,
may i ask, how tall is the basal shoot? i have tried on the hardy species and it roots without any help from rooting hormone etc...(but provided with high humidity level) have not tried on the intermediate hybrids.....now you said that it fails on you.....i think twice now (sanguinea hybrid)....if the basal is too old (with woody trunk) i think the percentage is quite low compares to the softer basal (but again prone to rot)
any tips, Robert?
