Key Technical Points for Hardwood Cutting Propagation of Taxus cuspidata (Japanese Yew)
Taxus cuttings should be taken in May to June, at the turn of spring and summer. Cuttings are selected from mother plants aged 4 years or older and cut into 15 cm slips. Two-year-old young branches used as cuttings give a high survival rate. To promote early rooting, the base of the cuttings can be soaked in a 0.01% naphthaleneacetic acid or 0.01% indoleacetic acid solution for 3 hours, then removed and inserted into the nursery bed. The bed medium consists of vermiculite plus weathered sand (1:1), or river sand and humus soil. Before inserting the cuttings, remove the small branches and needles from the lower part of the cuttings, insert them 3-5 cm deep, with a plant-to-row spacing of 8-10 cm.
