Abstract
This brief article is as much about what you learn when propagating as it is about the details of propagating a specific tree, Emmenopterys henryi. This tree is mostly found in botanical and collectors gardens, and was described by E.H. Wilson as, one of the most strikingly beautiful trees of Chinese forests. A member of the Rubiaceae, or madder family, the species is best known for its white flowers and white bract-like calyces in June and July, and its lustrous green foliage (Dirr, 2009; Hsu, 2006; Sargent, 1917). One of the remarkable things about Emmenopterys is that it takes many years to reach maturity and flower, and the occasion of an individual trees first flowering is often a cause for celebration.
