Propagation
Fresh or dried seeds should be soaked in boiling water for 10-20 seconds or exposed to heat by burning straw above them and then stratified for two months at 5º C (41º F). 

Sow seeds in flats and when germination occurs within 2-3 months prick out when large enough to handle and place in a cold frame.

Heeled semi-hardwood cuttings up to 80 mm (3⅛
