Grewia biloba parviflora
Propagation: Seed - we have no information for this species but suggest sowing the seed in late winter in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts.
Layering.
Cultivation: Succeeds in most soils[1].
One report says that this species is not very hardy in Britain, preferring hotter summers than are usually experienced here[2]. Another report, however, says that it is hardy to about -30°c[1].

Edibility: Fruit. No more details. The fruit is about 10mm in diameter[1].
