Broussonetia kaempferi
Broussonetia kaempferi
Family: Moraceae
Cultivation
Broussonetia kaempferi is found in southeast China growing in hardiness zones from 8 - 10. It is moderately frost resistant, though the young growth in spring, even on mature plants, is frost-tender and so it is best to grow the plants in a position sheltered from the early morning sun. Easily cultivated in a warm sunny position in any soil of reasonable quality, thriving on poor sandy or gravelly soils.
