I have been doing some quick & dirty rooting trials in preparation for doing more complete, better controlled comparisons over the next couple of months. I do have a few preliminary observations worth sharing.

I have been trying slicing & scraping, dipping in rooting hormones and the Root Riot system Rafed discovered versus sphagnum moss. I am repeating the observations made by ascpete, octopusinc, james and others that rooting hormone gives more roots more quickly. It is happening for me more slowly than others have reported. I am not seeing roots with hormone under any of the conditions I have tried in 7 to 10 days. The roots on my cuttings, and that is over 25+ cultivars, take 3 to 4 weeks with hormone whether in sphagnum moss or Root Riot cubes.

I tried 6 different cultivars, 3 cuttings each, with an unsliced cutting and a cutting sliced 4 times around dipped for 30 seconds in 10x Dip 'n Grow plus a cutting sliced and not dipped following the notions discussed in this thread:

I observed no benefit to slicing. I observed a major benefit to Dip 'n Grow.

I have tried the Root Riot system (major KUDOS to rafed for discovering this by the way!!!!!) with and without Dip 'n Grow. I am repeating the observation made by james in this thread:
http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/Clonex-vs.-No-Clonex-in-Root-RIot-Cubes-6232989
That is my hormone treated cuttings put out roots much faster than the non-hormone treated. I actually have pictures of the side-by-sides but I forgot to drop the resolution on my camera and can not get the 2 MB jpegs to post on this site. Anyway, the difference I observe is dramatic.

I also tried scraping 6 pairs of cuttings down to the cambium layer using fork tines and treating with either Dip 'n Grow or Clonex as discussed in this thread: 
http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/Rooting-method-expierments-2012-and-2013-6146671
My impression is that Dip 'n Grow is marginally more effective than Clonex but both are dramatically better than no hormone. As part of this test, I have an interesting observation. The area of root production on scrapped cuttings is restricted to the scrapped area, NOT the dipped area. The attached photo shows 2 cuttings (Longue d'Aout and Col de Dame Noir) scrapped & hormone dipped. As you can see, the rooting is restricted to the scrapped areas. The scrapping on the left cutting is clearly shorter than the right. Both were dipped in the dilution cup provided with Dip 'n Grow at a height well above the scrap heights. I plan on scrapping my next set up to that dipping level. As we all know, it is all about the roots. My bias is that a longer, more densely rooted area of the cutting will allow quicker growth of a healthier tree. I would also guess that many fewer rooted cuttings would be lost in the initial growth phase following rooting. 

I am going to repeat these experiments being more thorough about noting dates and documenting the progress with photos. Still, I hope these preliminary observations are useful.

I want to thank rafed, ascpete, octopusinc, james and all the other who have posted their observations about rooting cuttings! It is a big help to us all.

Good luck rooting your cuttings!

DWD2,
Thanks for posting your results. One question, What is your rooting temperature? My observations are based on maintaining an ambient rooting temperature of 74-80 deg F. ,rooting takes longer at cooler (lower) temperatures.
Good Luck With your trials.

If you have extra CdDN you want to get rid of, let me know  :)   Also, if you're using a PC, Irfanview is your friend for batch resizing.  Thanks for sharing your results.

Pete,
My rooting is at a pretty constant 73oF. Slightly below your rooting temp. It could drive the difference, but I'd really like to see the result in some good quality, controlled temp incubators. I meant to add above that my times to root appearance may be due to how I store my cuttings prior to rooting. They are kept in a refrigerator that is kept pretty cool (1oC, 34oF). So, the impact of that temperature may delay the cutting from "waking-up" for lack of a better way to say it. Experiments for next year maybe.

Bob,
I am a Mac person, but I will try to find a way to resize. I am going to root all my cuttings. So, I may be able to help you with your wish list. Remind me in mid-April. I got a bunch of cuttings from Todd Kennedy of the CFRG who is responsible for over half of the NCGR collection. They are really more like branches instead of cuttings. Once I get my NCGR/Davis cuttings and I decide what I am going to allocate to what experiment, I will have a better idea of how many of each cultivar I should have to root for distribution.
