It usually stands well at Savannah. Plants are propagated by seeds, which keep well for a month or more after ripening. They should be sown in shallow boxes or the greenhouse bench, lightly covered with sand, and, after germination, potted off in small pots of moderately rich, light soil. The growing plants do their best in partial shade, where they should have proper attention in watering and weeding. The old plants frequently send up suckers around the base of the trunk, which may he cut off and rooted, if takiu in a dormant state. The leaves, if any have formed, should be cut off at the time of its removal, as other- wise they would dry up the sucker before it was es- tablished.
