Cultivation Details
Prefers a sunny position[1]. Succeeds in most soils if they are well-drained[1]. Established plants are drought tolerant[1]. Newly planted young trees grow away slowly, scarcely reaching 150cm in the first two years[1].
Propagation
Seed - it has a short viability and so is best sown as soon as it is ripe. Plants are intolerant of root disturbance, so sow the seed in individual containers and place in light shade. Germination rates are usually lower than 20%, with the seed sprouting in 25 - 50 days. Seedlings grow slowly, but should be ready to plant out within 10 - 11 months[1].
