mmav starts with ... Hi all. Just wondering if anybody has any suggestions on propagating a magnolia little gem. At the moment we have two of these beautiful trees that are about 2 metres each and very very healthy. They recently flowered with large white flowers that are stunning, but sadly only last for a few days At the moment, they have produced a seed pod and the little red seeds are exposed. I would love to propagate these trees because we just love them and would like to plant more of them. Any recommendations? | About the Author mmav Mandurah 23rd March 2012 1:08am #UserID: 6754 Posts: 3 View All mmav's Edible Fruit Trees |
Nick says... You could definitely grow them from seeds http://www.growingthehomegarden.com/2008/11/planting-magnolias-from-seed.html) or cuttings and possibly air layering :) | About the Author Nick T Altona, VIC 23rd March 2012 7:29am #UserID: 2663 Posts: 727 View All Nick T's Edible Fruit Trees |

mmav says... Thanks for the info. It seems that I can propagate from cuttings of new green growth, by removing all but 2 leaves. This guy has also had some luke witth seeds, but mentioned that the "little gem" variety may be sterile, so using the seeds might be a waste of time. So I think that I will try both, and we will just have to see which works. I will post pictures as soon as I can take them. Thanks for the help. | About the Author mmav Mandurah 24th March 2012 11:33am #UserID: 6754 Posts: 3 View All mmav's Edible Fruit Trees |
