Cultivation

The boles of large trees are often hollow, which diminishes the commercial value and may cause danger during felling. This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria, these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby.
