Growing Guidance
Sow outdoors after the risk of frost has passed, or start indoors in the weeks before the last frost. Choose a sunny location and allow sufficient space for the tree's mature size. Year-round outdoor growing is suited to USDA zones 9–11; colder climates require an indoor growing approach rather than leaving the tree outdoors all year.
The stated height, spacing and bloom season describe outdoor growth in suitable conditions, not guaranteed results for an indoor or bonsai plant.
