A review of propagation programs for Gmelina arborea

2004

Romero, JosÉ L.

Gmelina arborea is a multipurpose tree species native to Asia. This tree can be propagated by seedlings, rooted cuttings, and grafting. Small tree planting programs with limited budgets tend to propagate by seedlings, and larger or industrial plantation projects with breeding programs propagate by rooted cuttings. Details about these propagation methods are presented. Also discussed are new vegetative propagation techniques that can multiply selected material very quickly, thus shortening the time between selection, testing, and operational deployment of gmelina clones.
