The major disadvantage of this plant is that is has serious potential in becoming a weed, I have seen it coming up in a number of places in Queensland. Each fruit has hundreds of seeds and it additionally can sucker too. <br />I would suggest to plant something else, it isnt really a good screen plant anyway- you end up with a bare trunk and a spreading canopy- it has a similar architecture to that of a small Poinciana or alike."

The cutting needs to be hardened, so not new growth and approx. 15-20cm long for a panama berry. Remove most of the leaves, leaving the top 6 and cut these in half. Make a clean cut 5mm below a bud, dip the stem in water and then hormone powder and plant the cutting in seed raising mix, this will be low in fertilizer. Keep it moist but not wet.

They grow beautifully from cuttings and then will fruit even sooner, almost as soon as they are made.<BR/><BR/>--------------------<BR/>How do you do the cutting. Eg is it best to put it in water or soil. I tried cuttings with coffee plants and blueberries and had no success in soil.
