Green flowers bloom in the summer, and winged nuts develop in the autumn. It thrives primarily in sunny locations and prefers moisture.

Propagation MethodsIt is mainly propagated by seeds. Mature fruits are harvested in the autumn; after removing the outer shell, they are planted immediately or sown in early spring following cold stratification, depending on the season. Propagation is also possible through root cuttings in suitable conditions.

Cultivation MethodsIt grows well in moist, well-drained soil. It adapts well to acidic soils, but since it is not a fast-growing tree, a steady water supply is required. In particular, sufficient water must be supplied during the early growth stages. It is recommended to use mulching for insulation during the winter. Uses in the Garden
