The tree grows at a moderate rate and responds well to cultivation. It is able to withstand severe bark removal to exhibit complete bark regrowth, but poor harvesting of bark, where too much or all bark is removed, may lead to tree death. When bark is collected only from quarters on opposite sides of trees, from about 35 centimeters above the ground level to the height of the first branch, it is thought that the bark can be harvested sustainably every 4-5 years. Bark removal induces early flowering. Mean bark yield per tree is 55 kilograms, ranging from 34 to 74 kilograms.
Seeds are difficult to deal with as they dry out easily.
They should be stored at one degree Celsius and 37 percent millicycles for one year. Initial germination is 42 percent, but drops to 39 percent after nine months of storage at four degrees Celsius with 20 percent millicycles. Drying to 15 percent millicycles induces dormancy, which is broken by pre-chilling seeds at three degrees Celsius for five months. Seed containers should be kept in a cold store to suppress the emergence of rudimentary roots and shoots. On average there are 3400-6000 seeds per kilogram.
