Tambalacoque propagation

I am sharing my experiences of Plant propagation of Endemic plants
Sideroxylon grandiflorum ( Tambalacoque ), Crtically Endangered in the RED IUCN list

Sideroxylon grandiflorum, known as tambalacoque or dodo tree, is a long-lived tree in the family Sapotaceae, endemic to Mauritius. It is valued for its timber.
