Hector,
Would you know if Hidden Springs goumi's are grafted, seedlings or on their own roots?
Thanks
John

John, the Goumi is difficult to propagate, but does
graft well to autumn olive. There may be some suckering below the
graft. Autumn olives, on the other hand, are easy. We stick twigs
about 6-12"
dormant in semi shade and keep them watered till they show growth
of an inch or so, to indicate they are rooted. Good
luck! Hector

propagation & goumi/autumn olive
I understand that the Elaeagnus can be propagated by
rooting stem cuttings, but have not had success with that myself.
I think the percentage of cuttings that would root would not be very
high, due, in part, to the wood being very hard. I intend to
experiment more with Autumn Olives propagation using green wood cuttings
this year.
I'm hoping to graft some goumi to autumn olive
rootstock at some point. Seedlings are easy to come by and I'm
going to try top working as well.
Thanks to all that commented -
it was helpful.

That's a bummer as I just ordered two goumis
from Raintree late last fall!! I do have a spring-fruiting goumi
that I got from One Green World about 4 years ago, for what that's
worth.... (And it is delicious, by the way--one of my favorite
fruits!) I'm growing it in NE Oklahoma and I have to keep it
watered here, but it's doing OK. It put on a lot of new growth
last year, despite a drought. I think it would do better if I
moved it somewhere that it would get some afternoon shade. I
hope to propagate it this year (for my own use)--does anyone know
offhand the best way and time to do that?

I've twice now planted so-called goumis from

Olives instead of the spring fruiting Goumis. It is easy
to tell the difference from the appearance and timing of the
fruit.
Today I received the 2011 print catalog from
Raintree and found them using a picture of Autumn Olives for
Goumis and the description indicating that goumis fruit in
August instead of the correct timing of "spring". I go
on-line and find that the on-line picture of goumi is,
instead, a picture of red fruited Cornelian
Cherry. |
