In the south, osmanthus fruits are very common, and people usually propagate osmanthus trees by sowing the fruits. Being located at the northern edge of the natural distribution area of ??osmanthus, the temperature is relatively low and there are relatively few fruiting phenomena.

Osmanthus fruits generally mature between April and May, and can be harvested when the peel gradually changes from green to purple-blue. After harvesting, sprinkle water and pile for retting, remove the pulp, dry the seeds in the shade, and mix with sand for storage. Osmanthus seeds mature later and need to be stored in sand for at least half a year. They are stored until October of that year for autumn sowing or spring sowing the following year.
