That is an interesting research paper - thanks for link.
I've tried several times to root mature Poncirus cuttings, but without success. Yet other people have said they root easily.
Now this article confirms that cuttings from mature trees do not root.
Cuttings from young Poncirus root best from June/July cuttings.
But I wanted to propagate mature, flowering trifoliate cuttings!
Doesn't seem to be possible.
