On the female tree the fruit that it produces is edible and has medical properties. But on the downside, it’s very hard to germinate. It may take up to 180 days to get just a few percent of germination. On average, the germination is 30-60%. The flowers are yellow and white, without the information on the number of petals. This is a tough plant, it can tolerate low temperatures up to -8C and can even handle a snow covering for a couple of weeks. But for the plant to be happy, it likes to be fully exposed to the sun. | On the female tree the fruit that it produces is edible and has medical properties.

This tree really likes to face north, so it can soak up the sun. But if you were to put it in the shade, protection from direct sunlight, some shadow from vegetation, the filtering rate would be up to about 20-40%. This tree typically can withstand any climate and still survive. | This tree really likes to face north, so it can soak up the sun.
