There are relatively few varieties of osmanthus trees that produce seeds, and these varieties are usually referred to as "fruit bearing osmanthus", which is a relatively rare type of osmanthus. Here are some osmanthus varieties that can bear seeds and their characteristics:
1. Seed Silver Osmanthus: - Flowering period: September to October every year, when the flowers bloom, the aroma is strong- Fruit period: From March to April of the following year, the fruit will mature and turn from green to purple black- Characteristics: Seed Silver Osmanthus is an evergreen tree that not only has a pleasant fragrance, but also has high ornamental value for its fruits. It is also a good tree species for landscaping.
2. Late Silver Osmanthus: - Flowering period: Late, usually in late September, but with a longer flowering period- Fruit: The skin is relatively hard and often wraps around a seed, appearing oval or oval in shape- Planting area: It is widely planted in the southern regions of the Yangtze River in China and is a famous horticultural variety with high ornamental value.
Although these varieties of osmanthus will bear seeds, the seed propagation of osmanthus trees is not as stable as grafting propagation. Seed propagation may cause changes in the floral and floral characteristics of offspring trees. If pursuing aesthetic effects, more people still tend to choose grafting methods.
There are also some other varieties of osmanthus that may bear seeds under specific conditions, but this is not a common phenomenon. Osmanthus tree seeds usually require cross pollination, carried out by insects or wind media, and require suitable growth environment and maintenance conditions.
The varieties of osmanthus that can bear seeds mainly include seed silver osmanthus and late silver osmanthus, which are relatively rare and precious in osmanthus.
