Seeds will germinate and produce good plants when taken from pods not more than 15 days underripe. Vegetative propagation can also be used to create clones.
Vegetative propagation can be by cuttings, budding or marcotting.
Cuttings - Tree cuttings are taken with between two and five leaves and one or two buds. The leaves are cut in half and the cutting placed in a pot under polythene until roots begin to grow. Budding - A bud is cut from a tree and placed under a flap of bark on another tree. The budding patch is then bound with raffia, waxed tape of clear plastic to prevent moisture loss. When the bud is growing the old tree above it is cut off.
