Meeting Proceedings. California Walnut Board. Tab 5:1-6. Interpretive Summary: Cuttings were callused and rooted to produce plants for the field planting. Rooting outdoors in the shade has been better than under mist. The cultivars rooted at different rates, with ‘Italian 88,’ ‘Italian 358,’ ‘Italian 376,’ ‘Verdal Lounge,’ rooted best (62-85%) and ‘L.S.U. Purple’ and Georgian Black’ the poorest (46-48%).
