Abstract
Using recirculating subirrigation without mist, softwood stem cuttings of Red Sunset red maple were successfully rooted in 33 days, using a basal temperature of 23°C, when wounded and treated with 10:1 Dip-N-Grow. Rooting medium temperatures above or below 23°C were detrimental to rooting percentage and mean root length per rooted cutting. The highest root number was achieved when cuttings were rooted in a medium maintained at 20°C and treated with 10:Dip-N-Grow, but under these conditions rooting percentage and root length were not optimized.
