Hala tree Question - kimo wires - 02-26-2021
If you cut a branch off a large Hala tree can it be replanted? Grown into a new tree? Maybe with root tone ?

College of Tropical Agriculture and human Resources University or Hawaii at Manoa Wrote:In Micronesia, selected forms of Pandanus tectorius are propagated by stem cuttings. Plants with aerial or prop roots are selected and about 2/3 of the leaves are trimmed off to reduce water loss. Moriarty suggests using a mature branch with leaves and some small aerial roots and rooting it in a sand bed. Plants grown from cuttings fruit in 4 to 6 years.

If you don't mind hala from the wild, there are tons of keikis beneath the hala trees.

a baby Hala tree from a Hala forest will grow far stronger and be healthier than digging up a large one or trying cuttings from a branch stuck in ground...
you can easily find keiki starters, 1-2' tall just spiraling off ground.. easiest kine to transplant will be kine growing in the thick matts of ironwood tree leaves (needle looking leaves) along Puna coast..
