Semi-Miller Research Paper

As we age we seem to prefer things that are slightly sweet or “semi-sweet.” Semi meaning partial.
Material with electrical conductivity that is not quite that of a conductor nor that of an insulator, is a semiconductor.
But if semi means half why is a 80,000 pound 18-wheeler called a “semi.” It's more of a maxi. It's really the trailer part that is referred to a “semi”, as in semi-trailer. It's doesn't have a front axle and only wheels only at the end. So the truck that pulls it is semi-tractor trailer or simply a “semi”.
And wood on a shrub that isn't quite hardwood nor softwood is what else, semi-hardwood.
Early summer is a great time to take semi-hardwood cuttings of your spring flowering shrubs and root them.
Many ornamental shrubs such as witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) and flowering quince (Chaenomeles x superba) are easy to root. Tree cuttings are often more difficult to root,with the possible exception of birches, crape myrtles (Lagerstroemia spps.), some elms, and all willows,
Take semi-hardwood cuttings from partially mature wood of this season’s growth, best from early July to early fall. Semi-hardwood will feel slightly firm but bendable.
You can if you want treat your semi-hardwood cuttings with rooting hormone powder. To keep from possibly spreading disease to your entire supply of rooting hormone, pour some of the rooting hormone powder into a deep dish and dip your cuttings in this rather than directly into the jar. Toss out any leftover rooting powder.
You don't need a greenhouse to successfully propagate semi-hardwood cuttings but it helps if you
