This tree can only be grown from seeds that germinate readily on the ground under adult trees. This is a slow-growing tree and takes years for the tree to reach its mature stage. There are no reports in the literature of other methods of propagation. Trees are easily grown in gardens outside of its natural range, although slow growing. They should be planted in full sun to semi-shade on a well-drained, warm slope; the species can withstand moderate frost, but should be protected from black frost and when young.
