i made a fresh cut through a cutting that one could tell had been off of the mother tree for a bit. i wanted to see if the beeswax seal worked better with fresh cuts. look at the pic to see the results at day 8. i am very excited by what i see! there is essentially no die back to speak about and the cutting is pushing out callus already! the could potentially reduce the rooting process?

i resealed the cutting with beeswax.

now i'd like to try this on a cutting that is known to die back when the cut is open to air for an extended period.
