Cultivation Details
Grows best in a sunny position[1]. Succeeds in dry and rocky soils[1]. Established plants are very drought tolerant[1]. A fast-growing tree, it can reach a height of 3.5 metres within 2 years from seed[1]. The tree can flower heavily on more than one period each year[1].
Propagation
Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe in a partially shaded position in a nursery seedbed or in individual containers. A germination rate of around 40% can be expected, with the seed sprouting within 8 - 18 days[1]. When the seedbed-sown seedlings are 4 - 6cm tall, pot them up into individual containers and they should be ready to plant out 3 - 4 months later[1].
