Kantola
Botanical Name: Momordica dioica, M. cochinchinensis By seed or tubers. | |
Karela
Botanical Name: Momordica charantia From seed. Sow 2 - 3 cm deep outside in a warm sunny place. Provide plenty of sunshine, water and space as per other gourds. It may be easier to sow indoors first and moved outdoors when both daytime and night time temperatures have risen. | |
Kiwi
Botanical Name: Actinidia deliciosa From seed, grafting and softwood cuttings. | |
Langsat
Botanical Name: Lansium domesticum Langsats are commonly grown from seeds which must be planted within 1 or 2 days after removal from the fruit. Viability is totally lost in 8 days unless the seeds are stored in polyethylene bags at 4º - 6º C where they will remain viable for 14 days.Seedlings will bear in 12 to 20 years. Air-layering is discouraging, as the root system is weak and the survival rate is poor after planting out. Shield-budding has a low rate of success. Cleft- and side-grafting and approach-grafting give good results. | |
Lime
Botanical Name: Citrus latifolia, C. hystrix, C. aurantifolia, C. limetta Lime is usually propagated by seed because most seeds are polyembryonic and reproduce faithfully to the parent. In some areas, root sprouts from mature trees are taken up and transplanted into groves. Sprouting may be encouraged by digging around the parent tree to sever the roots wholly or partly. Cuttings of mature wood may also serve for propagation but usually do not develop strong root systems. | |
