Tropical Fruit Discussion / Propagating Kei Apple by cuttings

Anyone out there have any experience with propagating the Kei apple by cuttings? What rooting hormone do you recommend? When do you think is the best time to harvest cuttings and what size/age of growth works best? Is intermittent mist and/or bottom heat necessary?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Mango Root System
