Cultivation Details
A plant of the 'Caatinga' dry forest region of northeast Brazil. The climate is hot and dry, there are usually 6 to 11 months without rain each year. The mean annual rainfall varies from 250 - 1,000mm, and the mean annual temperature is from 24 - 26°c. Requires a sunny position[1]. Grows wild in well-drained, sandy soils[1]. Established plants are drought tolerant[1]. Young plants have a moderate rate of growth[1].
Propagation
Seed - it has a very short viability and so should be sown as soon as it is ripe in a partially shaded position in a nursery seedbed. A high germination rate can be expected, with the seed sprouting within 7 - 15 days[1].
