Cultivation

Choose permeable soil suitable for trees. Bury the seeds at a depth of about 1–2 cm and keep the substrate constantly slightly moist. Place them in a bright spot. A tree grows from the seedlings over several years, so be patient. Grown plants can be transplanted into larger pots or outdoors. Cultivation is demanding and better suited to a greenhouse.
