Uses and Culture

USES

PROPAGATION/CULTIVATION

  • The 1 inch long fruits of Ochrosia compta are fleshy, pointed at both ends, and have a smooth surface. They are yellow to dark purple when ripe and often occur in pairs.
  • Wooliams reports that untreated fresh seeds of this species germinated in 2 weeks. These seeds had been collected in October and were sown in "Jiffy 7" peat pots. However, the seeds were collected on Kaua'i so may have been from another species of Ochrosia.
  • In his work, Obata found that untreated seeds of this species has a germination rate ranging from 5 to 10%. (Obata 1967; Wagner 1990; Wooliams 1972) [Data from Herring, E. C., & Criley, R. A. (2003). The Hawaiian Native Plant Propagation Web Site: Developing a Webbased Information Resource. HortTechnology, 13(3), 545-548. https://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/hawnprop/]
