Unopen fruit |
Quick Post: I was gifted with a cutting of Dillenia sibuyanensis or Sibuyan katmon a year ago. A few months ago I posted that the cutting has grown from a 6 inch stem into a 2 feet seedling. I also has rewarded me with flowers 4 times. Now the plant has come out with an open fruit pod. Talk about resilient!
I therefore conclude that the Sibuyan katmon is a very promising candidate for urban greening. It has nice leaves and bright yellow flowers. It could easily be propagated from cuttings. It fruits and seeds in cultivation. Now I am hoping that the seeds will germinate into nice little katmon plantlets. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

To propagate the Sibuyan Katmon, should the cutting be woody or green/young?
