In two seasons, the seedling has become a tree of about 7' (2+ m) in height, and necessitates a very large pot.

Fares well when container-grown outdoors. Hot summers demand increased watering, or growth will come to a halt. The mature plant may be drought tolerant, but thrives in consistently moist soil, with direct sun, in a warm, humid environment.
