The Jacmon birch is propagated mainly by seed method, since cuttings are difficult. The seeds of the Zhakmon birch are sown in spring or autumn. In the first case, the seeds are pre-stratified at a temperature of 0C for two months. Seeds are stored poorly, they quickly lose germination, so autumn sowing is preferable. Seeds are sown directly into the ground or in special greenhouses. Crops are regularly and abundantly watered, and for the winter they are mulched with humus or a thick layer of fallen leaves. Transplanting the formed seedlings to a permanent place is carried out after they reach a height of 40-50 cm.
