Re: CULT: Willow Water (the solution)

Laurie F. asks if the willow water would stimulate root development while at
the same time surpress increase development from the old rhizome.

Yes, I would expect it to have that effect, but the result would be very
transitory--not much of the chemical hormone is absorbed by the rhizome,
whereas the root would absorb quite a lot more.  Where the surpression of
increase is going to happen, the naturally occuring NAA produced by the
growing point has ceased once the initiation of flowering begins--August or
September for spring bloom--but it takes time for the hormone to be
metabolized and/or used up.



Some pretty heavy stuff there Neil. Rejecting all but one of the 10,000 questions I would like to ask I will simply ask where the increase inhibitor production takes place. Is it in the body of the rhizome,the fans or the bllom stalk?
