Mamaki is a small tree/shrub. grows up to 15 feet and has tiny white fruit that resembles noni. For seed propagation we ripen them in sun-jars and mash with water-releasing the seed from the fruit material. We'll keep in part shade medium water and hold that in 2-3 weeks beautiful baby sprouts will have germinated.

Got seeds from laulima "many hands" farm up the street. As well as 'uala (sweet potato) clippings and kalo (taro) shoots. The first a food crop the later divere, but good to know the petiole helps stop bleeding.
