Propagation & Cultivation
Natural Propagation: The main method of natural propagation is seed dispersal by birds. Birds eat the fruit’s gelatinous pulp containing the seeds and later disperse them through their droppings.
Manual Propagation: Seeds can be collected from ripe fruits for manual propagation. Since the plant is dioecious (having separate male and female trees), both male and female plants are required for successful seed production.
