Light or heavy wounding applied to stem cuttings of Fraser's photinia (Photinia x fraseri Dress) had little effect on stimulating rooting. The greatest response from wounding was realized when used in combination with a 5000 or 10,000 ppm indolebutyric acid (IBA) solution. Satisfactory rooting, however, was attained by IBA treatment alone.
