PROPAGATION OF TAXUS BACCATA BY CUTTINGS

ZSUZSA FARKAS TURINE, DEZSŐ KOVÁCS

Abstract


The ’Green Diamond’ variety of Taxus baccata boasting a spherical habit similar to Buxus sempervirens ’Suffruticosa’ is a slow-grower with small, dark green leaves and would be suitable to replace ’Suffruticosa’. It tolerates pruning well and has a good renewing capacity. Taxus baccata ’Green Diamond’ is currently propagated by grafting in Western European ornamental tree nurseries, which is however a costly and slow propagation method. As part of our work, we set the aim to work out the propagation method for Taxus baccata ’Green Diamond’ by cuttings. As part of our work, we examined the propagation of Taxus baccata ’Green Diamond’ by cutting in various plant growth mediums with the application of root stimulants in different concentrations. Our results have confirmed that it is possible to propagate the examined ’Green Diamond’ species by cuttings.
