- Intervention effect Hormone-like growth regulators can induce roots on tissues where roots do not naturally appear.
- Observation Lilac cuttings taken in May can form adventitious roots.
- Association Lilac cuttings gradually lose rooting capacity by July.
- Intervention effect Apple cuttings taken early in May rooted with growth substances but their capacity declined until June.
- Observation Seedling cuttings of difficult species can root.
- Observation Cuttings from old trees seldom root even with hormone-like substances.
- Mechanism Age-associated structural or protoplasmic change is proposed as a major rooting control.
