I have to say, if I had a favorite hormone for rooting, it's dip'n grow, hands down. I use if for rooting softwoods and hardwood deciduous tree cuttings by the thousands. 10 to 1 mix with water and your done. We get up to 95% on some rubrums, average 80-85%. We root Royal Purple smoketree nearly 100% and with Elms, we are probably averaging 55-60% depending on the variety.

We use "Woods" for a few varieties and have had decent sucess, but powder is a pain to work with and it's hard to find in large quantities like Dip'n Grow.
