How should cuttings be treated when propagating yew (Taxus) from cuttings?
When propagating yew from cuttings, the method for treating the cuttings is: cut branches at least 15 cm long as cuttings, remove the lower leaves, girdle the base of the branch to make a wound 0.5 to 1 cm wide, wait until nodular growth forms around the wound, then cut the branch off below the girdled part, and soak the basal end in 100 ppm indoleacetic acid or phenylacetic acid for 3 hours, or soak it in a 200 ppm ABT No. 2 rooting powder solution for 8 to 10 hours.
