According to a local Goumi varieties collector here in Austria: "Seeds need to go straight into the soil from your mouth. Then let them stay outside in pots until April [mid-spring here in Austria, after the USDA zone 7 winter in Dec-Feb]. Put them inside and the seeds will germinate. works always. Keep inside until there are no more late frosts. The seed should never dry out."

I planted goumi 5 years ago. They have turned into huge, beautiful plants. Both are planted in semi shade and it’s a bummer cause they flower but they don’t actually form fruit. I want to propagate them and plant them in a sunnier spot.

I have about 10 goumi plants on the property, no idea what they are but they have very large berries and hard seeds. My neighbour offered me to glean branches one summer from a plant that was on their property allegedly brought over from Russia by the previous owner. I popped them into pots, left them in a shady spot and tried to remember to water. I had great success, planting them out the next spring. My bushes vary from three to eight feet tall. They are growing in dry sun, in my damp area down by my ponds and all thrive. I made juice last year which was a milky pink and so delicious.

Great video, Sean, especially the side note about how long it takes for hazelnuts,goumi, elderberry,... to root. Not sure why you'd want to root layer elderberry or currants, though, these easily propagate by just sticking a hardwood cutting in the soil without further care.

I tried bottom heat this winter and it seems to me that only the bigger ones rooted. But I am not sure since it is still in the process. I also put a few just in the ground and fortunately the biggest one (30-40cm and a few side branches) rooted. I will verify this next winter. With mulberry I have a likewise impression. Thanks for your insights.

My question is what turned you to the idea of the air bubbler for propogation. Ive seen it used for cannabis and houseplants but never used in the way you have used it. Ive since experminted with grapes and other cuttings...this year i will be doing greenwood on plum,hardy kiwi,nanking cherry, grapes and romance series bush cherries. I.may throw some willow on the mix to see if it will help with rooting. Do you have amy tips for water propogation...id like to know what will make it more successfull...also have you tried mullberry this way?

Last year I was able to move material from PA to WV in the form of cuttings, and I had maybe 50% root on bottom heat. They were big(3/8”) caliper stems, so that could be a factor. This year my dormant cuttings did not do as well I thought perhaps stooling would work but I have noticed they are quite slow to do so. I prefer the lower maintenance way of propagating from existing plants without water/electricity inputs. Definitely sowing seed from my friends sweet scarlet this year too. Thanks for the thoughts Sean!

Grafting surely works. But the rootstock, especially when E. umbellata/autumn olive, really likes to grow "wild shoots" which are much more vigorous than the grafted scion/variety. So grafts need a lot of care or the variety gets eventually overgrown. Potentially, when grafting young plants, they could be planted out with the graft union well below the soil surface to mitigate this.
@Skitdora2010

If you freeze goumi the seed is no longer easy to chew and if you try to sprout that I have not had luck. I have not had luck with dried seed either. If you eat the fruit fresh I have germinated that in a wet paper towel in a zip block bag in the fridge. When plants sprout in the fridge and you plant it in a container, I like to use a deep pot for bushes/trees, a tall Starbucks cup works with a lid. I keep the lid on until after the leaves comes up because soil drying out will kill the new plant. The most difficult part is transferring plants outside, during the hardening off process where chipmunks and house sparrows go after seedlings, and I had a 4 year old plant even girded by rabbits. We have cotton tail and snowshoe hare. Chicken wire cages might work to keep deer away but quarter inch hardware cloth is needed to keep the girders away from the plants.

Hello I am a certified Horticulturist and Permaculturist in BC Canada, this is what I did for some success last season into this season; From Seed; So I collected fresh berries from my large berried Goumi last season, and they dried out a bit in the mini fridge, so I gave them a 24hr water soak, then baggie sowed them in baggies with moistened peat & perlite and washed sand, and warm stratified them for 4-6 weeks on a table in my yurt, opening the baggie once per week. Then I cold stratified them in my mini fridge on a low temp setting for 3-6 months over winter, opening the baggies weekly. I personally left them in there till about April, and saw a root extending from one of the seeds, and so I potted the baggie up into a nursery pot in my greenhouse, and they sprouted and grew like crazy! I potted them up when they grew true leaves, and now have over 36 Goumi's potted on and growing in my nursery here in Coastal BC Canada. I am collecting seed again this season as we had another bumper crop. Yum! From Airlayers; I slid a 3 gallon nursery pot with a V cut into the bottom over a branch in the dormant season (New years day), after girdling the branch fully on a branch node, scraping the cambium, and coating with rooting hormone, I then propped up the pot so that the airlayer was inside the pot, and filled the pot with peat & perlite and washed sand mix. I watered it in with mycorrhizae innoculant (root rescue), and nitrogen fixing innoculant, and left it till about July 18th, when due to a watering issue I had to divide the airlayer early, but now the division is potted on and taking quite well! Note; Usually the airlayer needs to be left for a full year for Goumi's (or so I've heard), and is traditionally done in the spring timed with sap flow. But I had success this last winter doing it in mid winter. I am also trying airlayer airpod's but I don't know if I'll have the best success with those. All the best! Moegg

Is there a definitive way to differentiate a Goumi from Autumn Olive? They are both in the Elaeagnus family, and it looks like the only difference is that the Goumi grows up to 6 feet, while Autumn Olive grows 10-12 feet. That doesn't help when the plant is 6 feet or shorter. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I live in Maine and Autumn Olive is illegal to propagate, and Goumi is not.
@edibleacres

There are distinct differences once you get to know them, so it makes sense to bring in known Goumi plants and monitor and learn about them... The leaves are thicker and wider, the stature is more broad and stout in ways, etc., and the fruit of goumi is quite early with much larger flowers happening earlier than Autumn Olive. Both are amazing plants!
