Habitat	Found in tropical forests and stream banks at an altitude of 700 - 1100 m, mostly cultivated.
Cultivation	This fast-growing species should be planted in fertile soil that is mildly acidic to mildly alkaline (pH = 6 - 8). Allow 1.8 - 2.4 m of spacing between individuals. It grows well in a sunny spot that is protected from full sun. Propagate by seed.
