Exocarpus nanus
Propagation: Seed - we have no information on this species but would recommend sowing it in spring in a warm greenhouse in a pot that contains a suitable host.
Cultivation: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in this country. It is likely to require a light well-drained soil and a sunny sheltered position. It is a root parasite and will need to grow with its host, though we do not know which species it parasitizes.
Range: Australia - Tasmania.
Habitat: Alpine and sub-alpine tracts, occasionally above the tree line.
Edibility: Fruit. Not particularly tasty[1][2][3].
Soil: Can grow in light and medium soils.
Drainage: Prefers well drained soil.
In Leaf: Evergreen
Flower Type: Hermaphrodite
