Pteroceltis tatarinowii
Propagation: Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame[1]. Stored seed is best given 2 - 3 months cold stratification and then sown February/March in a greenhouse[2][1]. Germination rates are usually good, though the stored seed might take 12 months or more to germinate. The seed can be stored for up to 5 years[3]. As soon as they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots. The leaves of seedlings often have a lot of white patches without chlorophyll, this is normal and older plants produce normal green leaves. Grow the seedlings on in a cold frame for their first winter, and plant them out in the following late spring or early summer[K]. Give them some protection from the cold for their first winter outdoors.
Cuttings
Cultivation: Succeeds in any reasonably good soil, preferring a good fertile well-drained loamy soil[1]. Succeeds on dry gravels and on sandy soils[1]. Established plants are very drought resistant[1].
Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[1].
Range: E. Asia - northern and central China.
Habitat: Mountainous regions on limestone, river and stream banks at elevations of 100 - 1500 metres[4].
Usage: A fibre obtained from the bark is used in the manufacturing of Xuan Paper[4].
An oil is extracted from the seeds[4]. No details are given as to whether the oil is edible or its other uses.
The tree has a good quality timber[4].
Soil: Can grow in light, medium, and heavy soils.
Drainage: Prefers well drained soil.
Seed Ripens: Late Summer-Mid Fall
