Re: [nafex] rooting kakis

I currently have a test plot of American persimmon where the soil line is
several inches higher than it should be -- too see if rooting will occur;
or if rotting won't occur, for that matter. I read that, under laboratory
conditions, there was success in rooting persimmon scions -- including
Szukis, in specific, and I think that I read that the trees survived. I'll
have to find the article sometime.
