Cultivation Details
Gymnocladus burmanicus grows well in a hot and humid climate. It needs an average daytime temperature that varies from 32°c in summer to around 16°c in winter. At night time it requires average winter temperature around 8°c, while in summer 14°c[1].
Propagation
The seeds of this species can be very slow to germinate and benefit from scarification before sowing in order to soften the hard seedcoat and speed up and improve germination. This can usually be done by pouring a small amount of nearly boiling water on the seeds (being careful not to cook them!) and then soaking them for 12 - 24 hours in warm water. By this time they should have imbibed moisture and swollen - if they have not, then carefully make a nick in the seedcoat (being careful not to damage the embryo) and soak for a further 12 hours before sowing[PFAF].
