Germination Information
Pre-treatment: Seeds are soaked in water to remove any inhibitors and allow full imbibition prior to sowing. Seeds are then sown into deep flats (1X2') and covered with composted leaf mold.
Establishment: Fruits must be collected before birds consume the entire crop. Trees typically produce some fruits throughout the year. Romluw is endemic to the Caroline islands.
