There is a very big success rate resulting in good size plants.
Can save up to 4 years in bringing certain plants to the stage of transplanting directly to an orchard or garden.

"We are using tissue culture or micro-propagation, which is cloning, to grow a lot of these plants. It means taking small divisions and growing them in a bacteria-free environment.

Division was infrequent and cloning still a challenge, so the only choice was Nature's way--from seed. This requires a laborious process of hand pollination of flowers of stock plants grown in the field.

Growers can let a plant go to seed, collect the seeds, and then start the cycle over again (see ). Another method is to take stem cuttings, which is also known as cloning (because you are creating an exact copy of the parent plant).
