Moderate rooting (64%) was achieved with nontreated, softwood cuttings of Fortune's osmanthus (Osmanthus X fortunei Carr.). Treatment of cuttings with 2500 ppm indolebutyric acid (IBA) significantly increased percent rooting (92%). Higher auxin concentrations resulted in rooting comparable to the nontreated cuttings. None of the treatments had any influence on root number or root length.
