The spindle-trees are not particular as to the soil and are well adapted for shrubberies. Propagation is by seeds which are usually stratified and sown in spring, or by cuttings of ripened wood in fall. The evergreen species grow readily from cuttings of half- ripened wood under glass in fall or during the winter in the greenhouse. Varieties are sometimes grafted or budded on stock of their typical species.
