These species of plants can be propagated by seed. For best results, they should be sown in the late winter in a cold frame, as soon as they are ripe. Semi-ripe cuttings can be sown in the summer months and young plants overwinter in a cool greenhouse.
How do you take cuttings from Eucryphia?
Eucryphia cuttings are best taken as fairly soft new growth from younger plants in say July before they flower. The more mature the mother plant the less easy the cuttings are to root. Ideally cuttings can be taken from young plants in containers where they will root even more quickly.
How fast does Eucryphia grow?
It's tolerant of all sorts of soil – including chalk – and grows quite fast : 15ft in 10 years.
