Q: Can the tulip tree be propagated from seeds?
O: It is quite difficult, because often samaras (commonly referred to as seeds) do not contain seeds capable of germinating. conditions.
Sometimes it is possible to prevent this by using seed stratification (storage of seeds mixed with a moist substrate at low temperature) harvested in October - November after the disintegration of the seed heads.So prepared seeds are sown in mid-April in boxes in a cold greenhouse. Before stratification, seeds should be treated with agents that protect them against the development of fungal diseases - special seed dressings.
Dry storage of tulip seeds also reduces their ability to germinate, interrupting the necessary slow development of the embryo.
P: I am currently browsing the numbers of "My Beautiful Garden" for information on the breeding of tawułas. Please help. Can varieties of the Japanese tawuła, such as 'Frobelli', 'Goldflame', and 'Antony Waterer', be propagated from woody cuttings in spring? What is the admissions percentage? Or is it better to wait for herbaceous cuttings?
O: Vigorously growing Tawuły can be propagated from woody cuttings cut in early spring and kept in a cold store until planting in the spring.The effects are the same as in the case of herbaceous cuttings, which should be slightly woody at the base and too soft tops of the shoots cut off.
Q: How to multiply the Chalice?
A: The Chalice can be multiplied in various ways. The seeds are best sown in the fall immediately after harvest or in the spring after stratification. In both cases, it is good to sow the seeds in a greenhouse.You can also take cuttings in summer and place them in a greenhouse (they must stay there all winter).
In spring, layering is good, which usually takes root until autumn.Also shoots growing from under the bush should be dug out and treated as rooted cuttings.
