Propagation
Stratify seeds for 2 to 3 months during winter and sow seeds in pots then place them in a cold frame.

Collect seeds before the fruit turns brown and sow into a prepared bed. Seeds may or may not require a cold period. Take hardwood cuttings during winter and the plant transplants easily when young.

Note:
Care should be taken when selecting a sight as the tree has vigorous roots that can lift concrete and block drains.
