How to propagate Xanthoceras sorbifolia

There are four ways to propagate Xanthoceras sorbifolia: sowing, division, root cuttings, and grafting. The most important of these is seed propagation.

Seed propagation

After the fruits ripen in autumn, remove the seeds and sow directly. You can also sow in the spring of the second year, and the seeds must be germinated when sowing in spring. Mix the seeds with sand, hide the sand in a pit, then cover it with plastic film, increase the temperature, and use sunlight to germinate. In addition to this method, you can also use the germination method of soaking the seeds in warm water. After soaking, cover them with a wet cloth and place them in a greenhouse for germination.

Grafting

Choose large buds in the woody part for grafting. Other methods are also acceptable, but large buds in the woody part are the best for grafting.

Root cutting propagation: In spring, trim the roots of the seedlings to an appropriate length, then root them and water them.
