==How to plant/cultivate==
Fruits should be collected only when they are fully ripe as immature seeds fail to germinate. The ripe fruits are
collected from the trees, dried in the sun and then stored. Generally seed viability is low but increases after very dry
seasons. Seed germination is increased by a 3-min hot water seed treatment. Seed storage in metal tins or polythene
containers is the best. There are 105 000-125 000 seeds /kg.<ref name="Cultivation details"/>. Dhava is available through March to Septemebr<ref name="Forest foods of Western Ghat"/>.
