If you could find all male plants this would be the best approach.

Cold stratification of 3 months would be best. Therefore you could collect the seeds now. Sow them in a flat that is kept outdoors for the winter. Cover it to keep squirrels, etc. out of it, and then you should get reasonable germination in the spring. Also, cuttings taken in mid-June with a fairly strong hormone with mist should result in 50% rooting. Andrew Bunting, Curator Chloe,

I want several plants. What would you suggest as the best way to propogate L. glauce var. salicifolia? I want several plants.

The magazine is upon subscription only, published at 5000 copies 8 times a year, in french, in Quebec (Canada). The magazine doesn't have a website, but a single page at www.quebecvert.com. The picture would be 1,5 inch X 1,5 inch among 10 other colorful shrubs and trees featured in a 4 pages article. We would need an answer before September 11th, 2009. Best regards Emmanuelle Ares, editor-in-chief Hi

We have several fruiting specimens of Lindera glauca var. salicifolia and have never noticed a seedling. I have heard from others who grow Lindera obtusiloba that if you have multiple plants of male and female plants that seeding from them can be a problem. So, if you would like to grow L. obtusiloba I would suggest just growing an individual plant. AB I have had some inquiries regarding invasiveness.
