Propagation
Stratified seeds for 3-months at 5ş C (41şF) in a moist media and place in a cold frame. Prick out when large to handle into pots and plant out the following year. (Protected during first winter as the seedlings are slow to grow)

Transplanted from balled and burlapped.

Softwood cuttings taken during early summer and place in a protected environment until roots appear. (Cuttings may be difficult to strike)
