Propagation

Seeds of fingersop (Meiogyne cylindrocarpa subsp. cylindrocarpa)

Fingersop is typically propagated by seeds, taking anywhere from two weeks to six months to germinate. Plant seeds about a quarter inch deep in moist, well drained soil, and do not allow to dry out, the embryos are rather small and are encased in a thick seedcoat, so a small amount of mold in the younger stages can be beneficial for faster germination. Seedlings of M. c. subsp. cylindrocarpa tend to be smaller, with a bushier form then M. c. subsp. trichocarpa, which is more erect. Trees bear fruit after five to six years, but when grafted, will produce much sooner and develop a smaller, more compact form.
