Toona sinensis likes well-drained soil and a sunny sheltered site. Try to avoid north-facing sites and heavy wet soil and your tree should quickly start growing and sending out suckering roots to form a clump. It grows quite quickly but can take up to ten years to get to its full height.
People also ask, how do you grow Chinese toon from seed?
They did:
- Soak the seeds in warm water (30C) overnight.
- Spread the soaked seeds on a wet kitchen towel and leave the seeds to germinate.
- Wait with patience.
- Once seeds germinate (took 6-7 days), pot them up with potting compost and water in well.
People also ask, what is Chinese toon paste?
Toon leaves are most commonly stir-fried with eggs or made into a paste with sesame oil, salt, and sugar, which can be stored in the refrigerator for two months. This paste can be used as a condiment or as a flavoring for noodle and tofu dishes.
Also known as xiang chun, aromatic chun, some people refer to it as the Chinese vegetable tree. Botanically, chun is Toona sinensis; earlier it was also labeled as Cedrela sinensis.
