Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 9 Mature Width: Habitat: Luxuriant woods and thickets.
Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors at least in the milder parts of this country. It is possibly no more than a sub-species of C. oleifera. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus.
Prefers a woodland soil but thrives in a warm open well-drained loam if leafmould is added[1, 11, 200]. A calcifuge plant, preferring a pH between 5 and 7[11, 200]. Prefers the partial shade of a light woodland[200].
Prefers a wet summer and a cool but not very frosty dry winter[200].
Plants are not very self-compatible, self-fertilized flowers produce few seeds and these are of low viability[200].
