Abstract The annual hardwood of metrimony vine（Lycium chinense Mill.）cultivar‘Tianjing
No. 3’was used under open field cultivation in spring to study the effects of bigslip length，oblique and
straight cutting，normal and reverse cuttage，rooting agent treatment on its survival rate and seedling
quality．The results showed that cutting length，normal and reverse cuttage could greatly influence the
cutting survival rate and seedling quality of‘Tianjing No. 3’．Cutting survival rate and seedling quality
of 10 cm cuttings were obviously lower than those of 20 cm and 30 cm cuttings. But the cutting survival
rate had no significant differences between 20 cm and 30 cm cuttings．They were all over 96%，and
their seedling quality was close．Reverse cuttage could make the survival rate fall to 80%，and the
branch number per plant was obviously less than that of the normal cutting. The cutting survival rate and
seedling quality had no significant differences between oblique cutting and upright cutting，and the same
to applying rooting agent treatment or not．So under open field cultivation the most appropriate cutting
way of‘Tianjin No. 3’is cutting annual branch into 20 cm stems，planting them at a 45-degree angle
to the ground，avoiding reverse cuttage，and not applying rooting agent treatment.
