They may tolerate temperatures as low as 0c for short periods and down to 3c for prolonged periods[418 ]. They prefer a mean annual rainfall in the range 3,000 - 4,000mm, tolerating 2,500 - 4,000mm[418 ]. Succeeds in sunny positions and in light shade[418 ].

Plants can be harvested for their fibre the first time 6 - 8 years from planting, with an economical life of 20-40 years and with a total lifespan of up to 70 years[418 ]. Require 90-120 days from flowering to fruiting and have no obvious seasonality[418 ]. This species has potential for commercial use[317 ]. Branches do not have dormant buds and so will not resprout if cut back into the old wood[423 ]. A dioecious species, both male and female forms need to be grown if fruits and seed are required.

Plant Propagation
Seed - best pre-soaked for 24 hours prior to sowing[299 ]. Commonly vegetative cuttings of the top section of a branch is used for planting. This is suitable for a tree that has several branches. Sometimes karukas develop young suckers or shoots near the ground. When these are seen, they are broken off and replanted from these vegetative suckers. Trees from cuttings produce after 5-8 years. Seedling trees are slower to produce and have a taller straighter trunk.
