Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Elaeagnus glabra Family: Elaeagnaceae Author: Thunb. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 6 Mature Width: Habitat: Thickets in hills[58].
Propagation Notes: Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame[78]. It should germinate freely within 4 weeks, though it may take 18 months[K]. Stored seed can be very slow to germinate, often taking more than 18 months. A warm stratification for 4 weeks followed by 12 weeks cold stratification can help[98]. The seed usually (eventually) germinates quite well[78]. Prick out the seedlings into individual pot as soon as they are large enough to handle and plant out when they are at least 15cm tall.
Cuttings of half-ripe wood, 7 - 10cm with a heel, July/August in a frame. Good percentage[78]. It is best to take the cuttings in June[202].
Cuttings of mature wood of the current year's growth, 10 - 12cm with a heel, November in a frame. Leave for 12 months. Fair to good percentage[78].
Layering in September/October. Takes 12 months[78].
