Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 20 Mature Width: 8 Habitat: Temperate rain forests between 2400 - 3000 metres in the Himalayas[11, 51].
Cultivation Notes: Best grown in a warm position in a moderately rich free soil of an open texture[1]. Succeeds in an acid or neutral humus-rich soil in sun or part shade[184]. Tolerates an alkaline soil if it is deep and rich in humus[188]. The branches are brittle so a sheltered position is required[200]. Grows well in a sunny position in a woodland garden[166]. Very tolerant of atmospheric pollution[200].
Dormant plants are hardy to about -10°c[184], but the flower buds are often killed back by late frosts[184].
A very ornamental plant[1]. Trees take at least 20 years from seed before they flower[166].
The fleshy roots are easily damaged and any transplanting is best done during a spell of mild moist weather in late spring[182].
