Abstract

The effects of temperature and the annual growth cycle on the formation of root suckers were determined by propagating root cuttings of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.). The percentage of cuttings which formed suckers in an air temperature of 60 F was significantly lower than that of cuttings at 70 to 80 F. In the annual growth cycle experiment, cuttings removed in June formed significantly fewer suckers than those removed during January, March, August, or November.
