適合全日照且冷涼的環境，日照充足開花更繁盛。根系忌積水，植穴宜大且須土壤疏鬆。因為傷口癒合緩慢，不宜進行大幅度的修剪。一般不進行縮短修剪，以免修除枝條上的花芽。繁殖採用播種與嫁接法。

Suitable to grow in full sun and cold environment; full sun exposure can boost flowering. Avoid waterlogging in the root system; make sure the planting hole is large enough and filled with loose soils. Hard pruning is not advised because the wound heals slowly. Crown reduction trimming is also not advised as it may accidentally cut off flower buds borne on the branches. Reproduced by seeds and grafting.

適合於夏季不燠熱的環境。作為行道樹與庭園樹使用。花朵與果實能吸引各種鳥類取食，富有生態保育的意義。

The plant grows well in the areas which are mild in summer, commonly planted on sidewalks or in courtyard. The flowers and fruits can attract a variety of birds to eat, which is of great ecological conservation significance.
