Hamamelis  cultivars are typically propagated by grafting onto  H. virginiana  rootstock. Grafting is labor-intensive and the understock frequently suckers which can lead to the loss of the scion. A cultivar growing on its own root system would eliminate this problem. Our research was undertaken to develop a successful method of rooting micropropagules. The source material was established cultures of  H.  ×  intermedia  `Diane,'  H. virginiana , and a  H. vernalis  selection. The rooting treatments consisted of four concentrations of K-IBA (0, 5, 10, and 20 μM) in 0.02% Tween 80. Three replicates of eight cuttings each were taken from the three sources for each of the four treatments. The cuttings were placed in 50-mL beakers, cut-end down, with 10 mL of the treatment solution. The beakers were sealed with Parafilm, and cuttings were soaked for 24 h. After treatment, the cuttings were randomly stuck into Kadon flats prepared in advance with a sterile mix of 1 peat: 1 perlite and were watered-in. Cuttings were misted, and flats were covered with plastic and Remay. They were kept in a warm (19-24 °C) greenhouse. Cuttings rooted in 3 to 4 weeks and were subsequently fertilized weekly with Peter's 20N-20P-20K at 150 ppm. At 12 weeks, data were collected for the rate of survival, height, branching, number of nodes, and root mass, and the plants were transplanted to quart pots. Ninety percent of the cuttings rooted; the most favorable response was with 10 μM K-IBA, although all treatments produced &gt;80% rooting. This method was time and labor efficient. Moreover, micropropagation is not dependent on the season, and production of new plants could proceed on a continuous basis, making this a viable alternative to commercial grafting.
