Common Name:  Goumi
Family:  Elaeagnaceae
Author:  (Maxim.)Servattaz.
 
Known Hazards:  None known
 
Mature Height:  3   Mature Width:  2
 
Habitat:  Thickets and thin woods in hills and on lowland, at elevations of 600 - 1800 metres[58].



Propagation Notes:  Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame[78]. It should germinate in late winter or early spring, 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]. 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].
