RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Vegetative propagation of Juniperus osteosperma (Utah Juniper) by cuttings JF Native Plants Journal JO NATIVE PLANTS JOURNAL FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 76 OP 84 DO 10.3368/npj.14.2.76 VO 14 IS 2 A1 Cope, Kevin R A1 Rupp, Larry A YR 2013 UL http://npj.uwpress.org/content/14/2/76.abstract AB Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma (Torr.) Little [Cupressaceae]) was vegetatively propagated using tip cuttings from juvenile plants. Rooting was most successful (69%) when cuttings were treated with indole butyric acid (IBA) in talc (0.8% ai), struck in 2:1 perlite:peat (v:v) rooting substrate, provided bottom heat, and kept on a mist bench covered by a white polyethylene tent in a greenhouse environment with supplemental lighting. Utah juniper is highly drought tolerant, and superior accessions may have potential for increased use in water-conserving landscapes. The ability to propagate it by vegetative means should facilitate the selection and development of superior plants for use in the landscape industry.
