This document discusses different propagation methods for shea (Vitellaria paradoxa), including propagation by seed, air layering, and grafting. Propagation by seed involves collecting seeds from mature trees and either planting them directly or after a pre-germination period. Air layering is done by girdling, wrapping, and allowing a branch to root before removing it from the tree. Grafting involves joining a scion from a mature tree to a rootstock to reduce the tree's maturity period. Both top grafting and side grafting techniques are used. Success rates for air layering and grafting of shea can be up to 65% and 80%, respectively. Proper timing, materials
