I have experience using the gel, but it was not used on root cutting. It was used to jumpstart Korean Hornbeams, which were bare-rooted and shipped to the US.
I would say that 70 percent of the trees made it, but I cannot attribute it solely to the Root2 Gel. It seems to have made a difference, but we did not set up a controlled experiment.
Cordially,
