Edgeworthia gardneri Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in any soil in sun or part shade, growing well in light woodland. Prefers a well-drained soil with plenty of moisture in the growing season. Very closely related to and scarcely distinct from E. chrysantha and E. papyrifera[200]. This species is more tender than E. chrysantha[11]. It is reliably hardy to about -5°c, but it can tolerate temperatures down to -15°c if growing in a well-drained soil in a sheltered position[200]. The flowers are damaged by frost so the plant is best grown on a south or west-facing wall[188]. Plants resent root disturbance and should be put into their permanent positions as soon as possible[188]. This sprecies is cultivated in the Himalayas for the paper that can be made from the bark[46]. The stems are harvested every second year for this purpose[61]. The flowers diffuse a pronounced clove-like perfume and will scent the air to some distance on a calm day[245]. For further Edgeworthia gardneri gardening information |
