Plants from this species ...

... are of average ornamental value
In BOYNTON BEACH ., FLORIDA in USA they need much care and grow slow.
Seeds were not soaked, went directly into fill from my backyard in a five gallon pot. 30 seeds were sown in mid june in South Florida. Six sprouted by October, but hurricane Katrina and Wilma took a toll on everything. March 2, 2006 removed seedlings and seeds and put them directly into the ground with indirect light (close to my private fence) So far so good. Six survived out of ten and when transplanted noticed three to four more seedlings getting their first tap root. The largest seedling has three leaves and is very spiny. Will send pictures in a couple of months.
