I don't know about any other fruit, but citruses are difficult to root. It really depends on the variety or type of citrus. For example any crosses with Poncirus (citrange, citrumelo, dioscuria...) usually root very well (along with Poncirus), but to be honest, most of the citruses don't. I don't know what improvement would the hormones do, but in general, it is problematic with citruses. There are however experts, who can force rooting in any tree (temperate, subtorpical or tropical climates).
