In order to improve vegetative propagation of Berberis thunbergii 'Red Rocket', stock plants were subjected to shading and IBA treatment, as well as to the application of two commercially available rooting powders. Spraying stock plants with IBA 24 hours prior to cutting harvest gave the effect comparable to the use of rooting powders. Reduction of light intensity by 50% and 96% of ambient prior to harvest of cuttings improved rooting. Positive effect of shading results in changes in shoot anatomy, i.e. a weaker sclerenchyma development. Enhanced rooting in cuttings from shoots grown under reduced light intensity was accompanied by a decrease in the concentration of soluble proteins and by an increase in total chlorophyll content while the concentration of total soluble sugars remained unaffected.

I am a student with the university of Phoenix and I am looking forward to planting an abundance of trees on my four acres!

The tree seeds will not go to waste!Overgrow the earth.If that is possible.

living in Co. the life after fire for Pond. Pines is interesting. Seems that the carbon has a direct effect on what is able to grow in the area thereafter the damage. Thinning of these areas may prevent fire in the future and encourage new growth without damaging the eco system....

Wherever there is a unused patch of land anywhere, plant a tree there!

I love to plant, trees, vegetables, flowers,
watching them gow is like watching little children grow. Caring for them is also like caring for your children, feeding,watering, cultivating,etc.

Very informative, Thank-you.

We definately need to keep trees growing if this planet is going to survive, and yes other things need to be done along with planting new trees to keep the planet going, in fact to much to mention here.

Good going keep it up

There are so many things I never thought about, like trees in Hiroshima, or whether the tree ring 'theory' had doubters!
Whaddya know? I learned somethin' new today!

not very exciting reading

Hello, I have been reading the articles on this website and I am flabbergasted on how informative they are. Most articles are written in a negative tone; how pollution is destroying the enviornment and whatnot, but the articles here are how to change it...I apologize for sounding nerdyy. O-O

awesome... SEEDS!!!!!

This sounds great in fact awesome. What is the effect of such over growth. How are the plants stems holding to the increased growth?
This could really take off but due to the over population and building this might not take off that well. People seem to be aiming towards cutting down then replenishing.

THIS WAS A REALLY COOL SITE TO FIND .VERY INTERESTING . CAN'T WAIT TO CHECK OUT MORE .

I thought everyone knew the fact of fire being an essential part of the conifer's propogation process. It all shows the hand of an all powerful Creator who loves us and wants us to enjoy that which HE has made.
