Separate a 12-inch side shoot in the key tree Miami using spade and a pruning Redding knife. Keep its own rhizomes and the shoot intact throughout the separation. Put the shoot that is recently separated before you’re prepared to plant Fresno it.
Dig a hole in a area with excellent drainage and soil. The hole should be deep enough to to allow for the shootâs rhizome and be 12-feet away from other seedlings and plants in the landscape. Fill the hole.
