Q: Would this tree be appropriate in a full sun location in Hollister, MO?

Asked by: Dixie - 7/30/2016
A: No, it wouldn't do well in full sun. The leaves will likely turn yellow, and the plant will go dormant earlier than normal. It will do well in direct morning sun for a few hours, but will need shade during the hot afternoon.

Q: Do you grow Dirca from seed or another propagation method?

Asked by: Ryan - 3/12/2020
A: We grow it from seed. The seed ripens in mid-May and, once ripe, quickly falls from the branches. It can easily be missed if you aren't paying attention. We sow the seed within a few days of harvest and wait for it to germinate the following spring, usually in April.
