Rooting potential of Alaskan willow cuttings

Rooting potential of cuttings of two riparian and three nonriparian taiga willows was tested under laboratory conditions, and survival of a riparian and a nonriparian species was observed under field conditions. The riparian species, Salixalaxensis (Anderss.) Cov. and Salixnovae-angliae Anderss., ra...

Description
Summary:Rooting potential of cuttings of two riparian and three nonriparian taiga willows was tested under laboratory conditions, and survival of a riparian and a nonriparian species was observed under field conditions. The riparian species, Salixalaxensis (Anderss.) Cov. and Salixnovae-angliae Anderss., rapidly produced roots on all submerged portions of the cuttings. Only a few cuttings of the nonriparian species, Salixscouleriana Barratt and Salixglauca L., produced roots, and only at the basal end of the cuttings. Salixbebbiana Sarg. cuttings did not produce roots.
