Effects of long-term pruning, meristem origin, and branch order on the rooting of Douglas-fir stem cuttings

The rooting percentages of 14 Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugamenziesii (Mirb.) Franco) clones were examined annually from 1974 to 1988. The trees were 10 and 13 years old in 1974 and were pruned to 2.0 m in 1978 and 1979 and then recut annually to 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5 m, starting in 1983. The pruned trees showed no evidence of decreased rooting percentage even after 15 years; average rooting increased from 47% in 1974 to 74% in 1986. Rooting percentage was significantly influenced by tree height. Cuttings collected from 0.5 m tall ramets exhibited better rooting than cuttings from 1.0 or 2.0 m tall ramets, and cuttings from 1.0 m tall ramets rooted better than cuttings from 2.0 m tall ramets. Rooting of cuttings collected from 0.5 m high subinterval zones within trees showed a negative linear relation between rooting percentage and collection height. Cuttings collected from the 0–0.5 m zone rooted 25% better than cuttings from the 1.5–2.0 m zone of the 2 m tall trees. That difference was significant at p < 0.05. A t...
