This paper reports preliminary results on the propagation of Robinia pseudoacacia L. with hardwood and softwood cuttings. The research was carried out in the greenhouse on cuttings of trees selected in Macedonia, Greece and one spherical, sterile and spineless clone. The hardwood cuttings were of different age and size and before planting they were treated with various root promoting chemicals and solutions. The green cuttings were treated only with the solution 2000 ppm of the IBA chemical and tested in two rooting media. The results were variable depending on the kind of cuttings, the pretreatment, the rooting media and the clone. The green cuttings produced from the spherical and spineless clone were the most successful among all clones and cuttings tested.
