Cultivation

Shingle tree grows best in submontane areas in the humid and subhumid tropics with a short, dry spell. It succeeds at elevations from sea level to about 2,000 metres, growing best in areas where the annual precipitation is between 500 - 3,000 mm and the temperature ranges between 15 - 26°c. Plants are very sensitive to frost.
