Growth—

Regeneration in natural forest in Bas-Congo Province of DR Congo was reported as fair. However, the common occurrence in secondary forest suggests that larger gaps are needed for good regeneration of this species. In general, larger trees occur scattered, but sometimes in small groups[1]. Freshly harvested logs are rather liable to insect attack and should be removed from the forest soon after felling to avoid damage to the wood[1].
