Propagation with :
Air Layering;Cutting - hardwood;Seed
Seed:
The seed is best sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame. Some might germinate in the following spring, though most will take another year. Another possibility is to harvest the seed 'green' (when the embryo has fully formed but before the seed coat has hardened). Stored seed requires a period of cold stratification. The seed has a hard seed coat and can be very slow to germinate, requiring a cold period followed by a warm period and then another cold spell, each of 2 - 3 months duration. The hard seed coat need to be broken to allow easier germination. Many methods have been written about, 3 - 6 seconds in boiling water, acid dipping, but all have not much success, less then 1% germination.
Softwood:
Hardwood:
Cuttings of mature wood, 5 - 10 cm. with a heel, September/October in a cold frame. Plant out in the following autumn
Air Layering:
Layering in September/October. Takes 12 months.
