Thank you a bunch. How do you harvest the seed if you are not a bird though hahaha. I have a wall of them and I am moving so I want to take my wall with me. But I dont know how.
Well before you move, try to marcot your Eugenia trees. Make a 1 cm wide incision on a nice healthy branch of your Eugenia. Carefully tease off the bark of the 1 cm wide incision to expose the stem of the branch. Apply some rooting hormone to the exposed stem, then, wrap the area with transparent plastic filled with soil or potting mixture. Tie both end of the plastic bag. Water the soil and ensure it is kept moist. In 2-3 weeks, roots will grow inside the wrapped up area. Once sufficient roots have emerged, cut the branch off, carefully remove the plastic bag so as not to damage the roots. Plant the marcotted branch in the ground. It will soon grow into a beautiful Eugenia. By the way, rooting hormones can be purchased from any nursery or online.
My favorite tree I am growing some of them..I have four types of them.
Love you appreciation of trees!
Glad you liked it. Singapore is so beautiful with these wonderful trees. NParks has done a great job!
