The jamun is propagated in both methods such as by seed and vegetative method. Seed propagation results in late fruit bearing, therefore vegetative method of propagation is preferred for improved or selected types. The seeds have no dormancy; hence fresh seeds can be sown 4-5 cm deep at a distance of 25×15 cm. The seed normally germinate in 11 to 15 days after sowing. The seedlings become ready for transplanting in main field in spring or next monsoon. Budding is most successful. This is performed on 1 year old rootstock having about 10 to 15 mm thickness. The ideal time for budding is July- August in low rainfall regions. Patch, shield and forkert methods of budding give more than 75% success, if performed in the month of march.
