Propagation & Cultivation

The Copper pod tree can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be soaked in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination rates. Plant the seeds in a well-draining soil mix and keep them moist until they germinate. Cuttings can be taken from semi-hardwood branches and rooted in a suitable growing medium.
