How to Propagate Baccaurea ramiflora? The Latest Methods Explained in One Article

Baccaurea ramiflora is an evergreen tree of the subfamily Phyllanthoideae. Its tree form has very beautiful ornamental value and is used by many gardens in China as raw material for landscaping. Its fruit is also a fairly well-known fruit, with a sweet and sour taste, containing rich vitamins and other nutrients. Large-scale planting has now gradually begun, so how should Baccaurea ramiflora be propagated when planted? Below, the editor brings you the propagation methods of Baccaurea ramiflora. Let's take a look!

1. Seed propagation

Seed propagation is the most basic propagation method for Baccaurea ramiflora. Each year after harvesting the fruit, the seeds are taken out, and then the pulp and other substances on the seeds are removed. The seeds are soaked for germination, disinfected and otherwise treated, and according to personal habit one may choose whether to peel them. After treatment, they are placed in a seedling bed. After about half a month, the unpeeled seeds will gradually germinate, and their germination rate can reach as high as 75%. However, seeds with the seed coat removed need only about a week to germinate, and their germination rate is much higher than that of unpeeled seeds. Therefore, when using seed propagation, everyone should try to peel the seeds, which can effectively increase the germination rate, promote growth and shorten the growth cycle.

2. Cutting propagation

For cutting propagation, first select a robust tree with strong growth, high yield and no pests or diseases as the mother plant, then choose 1-2 year old healthy branches from the tree as cuttings. Divide the cuttings into two groups, then disinfect them. After disinfection, wait for the cut ends to gradually heal, then insert them into prepared nutrient soil. Manage them carefully, do a good job with water and fertilizer, prevent pests and diseases at the cut ends, and wait for germination. However, according to tests by experts, the rooting rate of cutting propagation is very low, and further research is still needed. Therefore, it is not suitable as a current planting propagation method, and everyone must understand this clearly.

3. Air layering propagation

Air layering propagation is a new type of propagation method. First select healthy branches grown within two years, ensuring the branches are healthy and free of pests and diseases. Then carry out girdling on the branches, and the depth must be kept at 2 cm, reaching about the xylem. About 60 minutes after girdling, sprinkle an appropriate amount of rooting powder at the girdled position, then wrap it with paper and thin mud, and spray insecticide to prevent insect pests. Then wrap a layer of plastic film on the outside and tie both ends tightly. After about one month, the girdled part can heal, and then after waiting about 35-45 days, it will take root.

The above is a brief introduction to the propagation methods of Baccaurea ramiflora. Its propagation is relatively simple, but its growth is slow, and it takes a long time to reach the fruiting stage. Therefore, after propagation, we must also do a good job in management, such as water and fertilizer, pest and disease control, and intertillage weeding. These are things we must focus on managing so as to ensure the growth of Baccaurea ramiflora. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
