What are the characteristics of agarwood? Especially what is the difference compared with Dangui?

Two-year-old pressed seedlings usually bloom in 5-7 years after planting; in the local area, 'Jingui' is generally not used as a flower picking variety because its pedicels are short and the flowers have high water content.

The finished product yield after processing is low, and the quality is not as good as the main varieties such as 'Wan Yingui' and 'Zao Yingui'. For this reason, the famous ‘Jingui’ is mostly sold as ornamental seedlings in Suzhou.

Propagation by sowing, layering, grafting and cuttings. If sown in autumn in October of the current year or sown in spring of the following year, the seedlings will start flowering later and it is difficult to maintain the original characteristics of the variety. Layering propagation is used to propagate fine seeds. Grafting propagation is a commonly used method, and tree species such as Ligustrum lucidum, Ligustrum lucidum, Ligustrum lucidum, Ligustrum lucidum, Ligustrum lucidum, Ligustrum lucidum, Ligustrum lucidum, Ligustrum lucidum and ash are often used as rootstocks for grafting or cutting.

Cutting propagation is mostly carried out from mid-June to late August. Transplanting is usually done in autumn after flowering or in spring. It can also be transplanted during the rainy season. Large seedlings need to be brought with soil balls and more base fertilizer should be applied to the planting holes. Potted osmanthus can be placed in the courtyard under the sun in summer without shading. In winter, it can be safely overwintered indoors.
