Propagation
Sow fresh seed during spring in pots and place in a cold frame to germinate in cool climates.
Semi-hardwood tip cuttings taken during summer apply bottom heat.

Note:
Under cultivation it normally grows to 2m (6ft) tall, slowly.


Botanic information
Leaf: The broad-obovate to obcordate leaf is up to 10mm (? in) wide with an obtuse apex that is notched that may form 2-lobes. It has a short petiole and the margins may be slightly recurved. The glabrous upper surface is dark green and the underside is pale green.

Flower: The tiny unisexual cyathiform flowers have a calyx with 4-lobes and the corolla with 4-free lobes on a short pedicle. The male has 4-stamens and the male and female flowers are arranged in an axillary umbellate cluster or are solitary on separate plants (dioecious). They appear during late spring.

Fruit: The tiny 1-seeded depressed-globose drupe is purplish to violet when mature. The seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively.
