Depending on the geographical areas and altitude sowing can take place from February to April. To obtain a more regular and faster germination stratify in cold the seeds for 3-5 months before the sowing. It is possible to use a sowing substrate for potting or soil from the garden together with a sowing substrate if the sowing is made directly into the garden. The substrate must be wet but not soggy until the germination is completed.
Grows on fertile and humid but well-drained soils.
The wood is hard and of a great value for cabinet makers and wood turners to make handles or spoons. It is also a good firewood. Fruits with medicinal properties.
