Wanted to add my observations on this species as I am growing it now, and it seems to be gaining interest (again?)
First I sourced my seeds from JibrilEnterprises in Ghana- he is the man-
I sowed them in 100%vermiculite and watered pretty much daily- left them outside here in z9
My structure looks a bit different from the other pictures here- but It may just be because they are seedlings- it looks like the downy new growth
I had a few pop up after 2 years-
I had thought that I killed all of mine last year (as indicated by the Eugenia patirisii coplanted with it right now) but this is definitely as 2 year old that came back with some vigor-
I'm saving most of these at the moment to see if I can get some more cold tolerant ones but may let some go in the future-
Seems great for growing in pots, and could be a real gem if grafting to it proves to be successful
