Edgeworthia papyrifera Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in any soil in sun or part shade[175, 184, 200], growing well in light woodland[200]. Prefers a well-drained soil with plenty of moisture in the growing season[1, 200]. Plants are hardy to about -15°c according to one report[184], whilst others say that it is only hardy in the milder areas of Britain[1, 11]. It succeeds on a wall at Kew[K] and as a free-standing shrub in Cornwall[11]. 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]. Cultivated in Japan for the paper that can be made from the bark[11, 200]. The stems are harvested every second year[61]. This species is very closely related to and scarcely distinct from E. gardneri and E. chrysantha[200]. The flowers diffuse a pronounced clove-like perfume and will scent the air to some distance on a calm day[245]. For further Edgeworthia papyrifera gardening information |
