Sow fresh seed during early spring and pre-soak seeds in heated water 13ş to 18şC (55ş to 64şF) for 24 hours. Seeds may require scarification (peeling treatment).

Cuttings of non-flowering shoots during summer.


Botanic information
Leaf: The thick leathery textured dark green obovate leaves have an obtuse apex with a mucronate tip and a short reddish petiole.

Flower: The small yellow tubulate flowers are cylindrical in bud and split open with 4-recurved segments forming a star-shape with 4-protuding curled stamens. The pedicle is up to 8mm (?in) long and the flowers are arranged in the leaf axils at the end of the branches during late summer.

Fruit: The berry-like oval green to reddish drupe has a fleshy exocarp with their persistent style. The small seeds are viable but may be difficult to germinate and the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively.
