This study aimed to evaluate the production of cordia (Cordia trichotoma) ministumps of seminal and asexual origin, as well as the effect of the naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) on the rooting of mini-cutitings. Seedlings and plantlets from rootedIn clonal mini-hedge, the production of ministumps should vary among clones, management techniques, ministump age and vigor, among others factors (DIAS et al., 2012). The nutritional management has also been a determinant factor for the competency of mini-cutting rooting, because well-nourished propagules have high availability of endogenous auxin, amino acids, carbohydrates, and other substances that facilitate differentiation and root formation.Studies have shown that cordia (Cordia trichotoma), a native tree species of the Boraginaceae family, presents propagules with low-rooting competence, because unsatisfying rhizogenesis responses have been obtained in both mini-cuttings of adult shoots and cuttings (FICK, 2007;HEBERLE et al., 2010). As far as it is know, there are no references on cordia mini-cutting technology, which is the -NOTE -I
