They are small shrubs in Citrus.  Mature size:8′-10′(H) X 8′-10′(W).  In pot will be or can be smaller.  Evergreen glossy leaves and small white fragrant flowers are really pretty!   I like their fruit peel is so frangrant and sweet can be eaten whole.

It is very easy to grow in full sun location with moist but well drained rich soil.  It is easy to propagate from seeds, cutting or by grafting.  Like all citrus they are not as cold tolerant in winter if you live in cold climate, just plant them in pots and bring them indoors by bright window in the fall.   USDA Zones: 8-12.

金棗是柑橘屬的小型灌木. 地植的成熟株高或寬幅為8-10呎.  盆植會較低矮或可以修剪控制高度及寬幅.   葉片光亮常綠,白花小而香很是美麗!   我喜歡它的果皮香甜可整顆入口.   鮮果可生吃,泡茶或製成果醬,蜜餞等.  容易栽種在全日照處濕潤但排水良好的肥沃土壤.  容易以種子,扦插或高壓等方式來繁殖.  由於它們不耐寒,秋天變冷前要搬進屋放在明亮的窗旁過冬.

Yucca filamentosa seedling has 5 leaves now. 絲蘭種苗,長出第5葉.

Best time to grow them is fall to winter.  Direct sow in late fall.

最佳孵絲蘭的時間為秋到冬季.  室內盆植或直播於秋末戶外全日照處.

1. Soak fresh seeds for 2 days.

1.取新鮮種子,種子要泡水2天.

2.Use potting soil in a container with lid, moist the soil and lay down the seeds.  Keep the lid on.   Place the container in warm and sunny location.  The key is humid + warm environment.

2.苗盆使用吊盆用土,土壤濕潤後放上種子. 不覆土.   蓋上蓋子悶.  苗盆放在全日照溫暖處.  孵這種子的重點是濕+熱.

3.Check twice a week to let the fresh air in, if mold occurs open the lid under direct sunlight for 2 hours to kill mold.

3.每星期開蓋檢查兩次以透氣. 若有黴菌生長,只要開蓋在直射的陽光下曬2小時就能殺菌了.

4.The seeds should germinate from 8 days to 2 weeks.

4.種子應該在8天到2週左右出芽.

5.When seeds start to spout, either move the seeds to individual small pot or wait for seedlings grow 6-8 leaves than move to ground or to individual pots.   Full sun but keep seedlings moist not dry out.

5.種子發芽時可揀出分開用小盆種植或等小苗較大約6-8片葉片時稍強壯時分開種,地植或用盆植分盆種,要注意小苗期的保濕.
