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].
