Australian finger lime (Meiogyne cylindrocarpa), also known as Fingersop, is a species of flowering shrub in the Annonaceae family. It is endemic to Australia.
Propagation
Fingersop is typically propagated by seeds, taking anywhere from two weeks to six months to germinate. Plant seeds about a quarter inch deep in moist, well drained soil, and do not allow to dry out, the embryos are rather small and are encased in a thick seedcoat, so a small amount of mold in the younger stages can be beneficial for faster germination. Seedlings of M. c. subsp. cylindrocarpa tend to be smaller, with a bushier form then M. c. subsp. trichocarpa, which is more erect. Trees bear fruit after five to six years, but when grafted, will produce much sooner and develop a smaller, more compact form.
