Cultivation Details
Young plants grow best when in dappled shade, though older trees often grow up into the light[1]. The availability of abundant water favours natural regeneration[1]. Trees can reach a height up to 1 metres when 2 years old, if grown in a shady position. They are 4 - 6 metres tall by the time they are 7 years old[1]. A dioecious species, both male and female forms need to be grown if fruit and seed are required[1].
Propagation
Seed - best sown in a shady position as soon as they are ripe. A germination rate of around 45% can be expected. Seedlings are pricked out into a nursery bed at a spacing of 10cm x 10cm. When grown in the shade they can be 1 metre or more tall by the time they are 2 years old[1]. It is best to plant them out when they are leafless[1].
