Popis: Apuleia leiocarpa is an environmentally and economically significant Atlantic Forest species threatened by ongoing exploitation. The vegetative propagation of the species could be a step forward to enable implantation of clonal seed orchards and multiplication of selected trees but remains unknown to date. This study assessed the mini-cutting technique for propagation of A. leiocarpa and determined the time required for rooting and viable mini-cutting type and sizes. The results show that it is possible to propagate A. leiocarpa with mini-cuttings derived from mini-stumps produced with seeds; the mini-stumps presented regrowth capacity and remained constantly productive for 1 year; 10-cm A. leiocarpa mini-cuttings should remain under misting conditions for at least 40 days, and the vegetative propagation of A. leiocarpa with intermediate 7- to 10-cm mini-cuttings resulted in more vigorous clonal seedlings than smaller mini-cuttings.
