Has anybody on the forum ever used this stuff?
DOES anybody that has used it, have a small amount they would be willing to sell?
I was reading that the #3 is especially good for hard to root plants. I am thinking it would be good to use/try on satsumas and such that are notoriously hard to root.

Nope haven't used that stuff. If you can germinate citrus seedlings, grafting or budding unto them would produce better plants than from the cuttings.

Joe,
if someone want's to try cuttings, well.. why not?

Most of those cutting do well, if you take care for the first years of forcing the tree to develop a dense and deep root system. Force the roots downwards, and it will establish a very good stability fpr the tree, and within the years, I can't find much difference in containers from cuttings or budded trees. Most cuttngs do also well, often better than budded ones.

A citrus tree growing outside in the ground, struggling against the wind and weather, greatly benefits for a long deep tap root type of system. However, a citrus tree growing in a container has no need of a tap root. A container tree is much better off with a root system that has developed a secondary and tertiary type of root system, which is produced by following the four inch rule and insured by using Root Maker containers.

Hi Darren,

I have not personally used Rhizopan but do use Hormodin #3 w/ most of my cuttings. I have had a lot of success rooting other hard to root citrus but honestly never tried rooting satsuma yet. I believe it is the equivalent product and could be worth a try for you. I could share a little w/ you for your trials or you could get some here:

Whenever my tub runs out (they last forever) I may try Dip n Grow which Sherwood Akin insisted I try. He said there was less waste and was more effective than powders.

Hey Eyeckr,
Cool, Thanks! I will have to order some and try it. Yes, it sounds like the basic same stuff. I will have to look up the dip and grow. I am assuming it is a liquid?
Thanks Again!
Darren
