Editing Elaeagnus multiflora (section)

== Propagation ==

PFAF gives several propagation routes. Sow ripe seed in a cold frame; germination can be prolonged, potentially taking as long as 18 months. The same guidance describes four weeks of warm stratification followed by 12 weeks of cold stratification as a possible aid. <sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup> These timings are starting points rather than guarantees, so keep seed lots and treatment dates identified when comparing results.

For vegetative propagation, PFAF lists half-ripe heel cuttings of 7–10 cm in July or August, mature current-year heel cuttings of 10–12 cm in November, and layering in September or October. Seedlings are described as being potted on and planted out at at least 15 cm. <sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup> The reported methods provide practical starting protocols, but rooting percentage and transplant response can vary with material, season, and aftercare.
