Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Orixa japonica Family: Rutaceae Author: Thunb. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 3 Mature Width: Habitat: Woods, scrub and on cliffs, to 1300 metres[184].
Propagation Notes: Seed - one report suggests sowing the seed outdoors in the spring[200].
If seed is in short supply we would recommend sowing it in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts.
Cuttings of half-ripe wood, 5 - 8cm with a heel, July/August in a frame[78]. Fair percentage[78].
Root cuttings, 3cm long, December in a greenhouse. High percentage[78].
Removal of self-layered branches at any time in the dormant season[200].
