Growth—
A dioecious species, both male and female forms need to be grown if fruit and seed are required[2].
Propagation
Seed - we have no specific information for this species but seeds of this genus generally have a hard seed coat and germinate erratically. Filing away some of the seed coat to allow moisture to enter more readily, without damaging the seed, will encourage a faster and more even germination[3].
