%0 Journal Article %T Study on Growth Characteristics of Young Feijoa Trees in Different Propagation Methods %A Meng Zhang %A Dan Wang %A Shao-Xiong Ren %A Li-Zhang Fan %J Botany Research Journal %D 2011 %I %R 10.3923/brj.2011.26.28 %X In this experiment, Feijoa sellowiana Berg. was grown with the multiplication from seeds, grafting, cutting and layering, its germination period, growth of shoot and seedling information after 2 years were studied. The results showed that the growth characteristics of young feijoa trees obviously influenced by four propagation methods. The germination period, length of shoot and seedling information after 2 years of seeds and grafting were superior to that of cutting and layering. In production practice, seeds and grafting should be chosen according to productive purpose. %U http://www.medwellonline.net/abstract/?doi=brj.2011.26.28
