The study was carried out to examine the influence of IBA and cutting position of shoot on the rooting of stem cuttings of Acer oblongum. Root regeneration in cuttings untreated with IBA was extremely low. The application of IBA (1000, 3000, 5000 ppm) exercised significant improvement in rooting per cent, primary root number, root length and root dry matter over control. The cuttings emanating from lower portion of shoot gave better rooting response as compared to upper ones.
