Fagaropsis angolensis

Cultivation Details

Trees have a moderately fast rate of growth^[1]. Trees can be managed by coppicing^[1]. Logs are susceptible to splitting in felling operations, sometimes over the full length of the bole. To avoid splitting, it has been suggested that the standing tree be ring-barked a year before felling^[1]. In Uganda heavy predation of seedlings by rodents has been recorded^[1]. A dioecious species, both male and female forms need to be grown if fruit and seed are required^[2].
