How to Propagate Cannonball tree?
The primary propagation method for cannonball tree is by seeds. Key factors for successful germination include warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil with high organic matter. Special considerations for cannonball tree include scarification of the large, hard seeds and protection from heavy frost in colder climates. Propagation is generally challenging due to the size of the seeds and slow germination. Following are the steps for seed propagation: 1) Collect seeds from ripe fruit, 2) Scarify the seed, 3) Soak seeds in water for 24-48 hours, 4) Plant seeds in a well-draining soil mix, 1-2 inches deep, 5) Place in a warm, humid environment with indirect light, 6) Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, 7) Wait for germination, which may take several weeks to months.
