Proliferating cultures of Garrya elliptica were established from shoot tip and nodal explants grown on woody plant medium containing benzyladenine. Optimum numbers of healthy shoots were induced on media containing 1.25 μM benzyladenine; higher concentrations caused more hyperhydricity and less extension. Following growth for 28 days on quarter-strength woody plant medium containing 0.2% activated charcoal, 90% of shoots rooted on the same medium lacking charcoal, but with 2.5 μM indolebutyric acid. Survival during weaning was poor, and was strongly correlated with the time of year at which plants were removed from culture. © 1996 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
