sequoia sempervirens is an excellent garden and timber tree species introduced from the united states . The construction of cutting orchard is ignored in production, and the rooting of cuttings from common cutting orchard is prone to age effect and position effect. In this paper, seedling trunk-buried cutting orchard (type I)and grafted superior tree branch-buried cutting orchard(type II) were established. statistical analysis of the characteristics of cutting yield, quality and construction difficulty of each type of cutting orchard were compared. The results showed that:①The cutting yield per plant and cutting yield 666. 7 m2 of the two types of cutting orchard were similar . ②The cutting yield per plant and cutting yield 666. 7 m2 of type II cutting orchard were higher than that of type I, indicating that type II cutting orchard was suitable for the cutting propagation of s. sempervirens in china .
