Abstract

We successfully used stem cuttings to propagate two native shrubs, brush holly (Xylosma flexuosa) and devil's claw. (Pisonia aculeata), which are rare in the Rio Grande floodplain of southern Texas. Roots grew on 100 percent of the cuttings that did not receive root-promoting substances. Rooting success decreased when synthetic root promoting substances or a nutrient solution was used. Key words: asexual propagation; native shrubs.
