Cultivation Details

HabitTree
Growth—

A plant of the lowland, moist tropics, usually found at elevations up to 100 metres, exceptionally to 300 metres[1]. Grows on waterlogged soils of peat-swamp forest and kerangas[1]. The plant is often found in the wild in Kerangas forest - a type of moist, heath forest found on acidic, sandy soils that are low in nutrients, especially nitrogen[PFAF]. The tree coppices vigorously, so regeneration of logged-over forest should pose no problem[1]. Fallen trees usually develop adventitious shoots from the bole and these eventually develop into trees[1].
