Propagation

Seed - requires stratification and is best sown in early autumn in a cold frame. Stored seed requires one month stratification at about 3°c and is best sown as early as possible in the year. Prick out the seedlings when they are large enough to handle and grow on in a cold frame. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring of the following year.

Cuttings of half-ripe wood, July/August in a frame[3]. Tip layering in July. Plant out in autumn.

Division in early spring or just before leaf-fall in the autumn[3].

Cultivation

We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain. It is often sold in local markets in Colombia[1]. The fruit is inferior to R. glauca but the plant is heavier yielding and more tolerant of different conditions, it has potential for improvement[1]. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus.

Easily grown in a good well-drained loamy soil in sun or semi-shade[4][5][3].

Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[3].
