It is suggested that quandongs be planted as early as possible into their permanent site. The soil should be well drained. Its pH is of lesser importance. I have found mulching and tree guards prepared from shadecloth to be beneficial to the establishment of pot-grown quandongs. Grafting is a means of clonally propagating the above ground parts of dicotyledenous plants when the species does not breed true from seed, or cutting material doesn't easily produce roots.
Primary growth is the growth that determines the height or length a plant attains .
This growth is due to cell division of a small zone of the shoot. This zone is known as the apical meristem. Secondary growth is that growth which determines the girth or diameter of the plant stem. The activity of the cambium from past growing-seasons gives the characteristic heartwood growth rings which are used in dendrochronology. The purpose of grafting is to join the cambial zone of the scion to that of the stock.
