Richard Nakagawa grafted 4 Alani scions from Pu’u Mahoe onto Alani seedlings. We hope to supply both Auwahi and Pu’u Mahoe’s D.T Fleming Arboretum with young trees of the Pu’u Mahoe Alani.This project is research to see how easily the Melicope takes to grafting, and also practice for successful grafting with Auwahi Alani scions.
July, 2006
In September 2003, Alani seeds were planted. Two and a half years later, a suprise!In July 2006, Richard reported these two seedlings died.
