How to plant/cultivate
Seed - best sown when fresh. Germination usually takes place in 5 - 6 weeks. Seed in the shell takes some 4 - 6 weeks to germinate; without the shell it may germinate in half that time. The seed can take up to 30 months to germinate. Cuttings of half-ripe wood. Air layering. After about 3 - 5 months, the rooted watershoot is cut off and planted in a nursery. After a period of growth it is hardened off and planted in the field. This method succeeds in 60-70% of cases [4]
