I haven't come across anything that won't make roots in the machine I built. Some can take a month or two .. but that may just be due to cool temperatures. 'Green' wood roots pretty fast. 'Brown' wood takes a lot longer in my experience.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
