Growing magic at Mina Lopato
Julian Eisenhammer, a grandfather at Mina Lopato Nursery School, is one of the few people in Gauteng to have successfully propagated a litchi tree – which has yielded delicious litchis.

Eisenhammer recently spent time at the nursery school showing the children how to propagate fruit and vegetables from a pip. The litchi pip he brought to show the children was beginning to swell, and would soon split open. He also brought a sprouting mango pip and mango sapling, as well as a sprouting avocado pip and sapling. The children were enthralled, and were experimenting for days afterwards.
