The population of mature trees is estimated to be relatively stable, with about 500 trees measuring over four meters in height. The maximum height of the tree is about eight to ten meters. Efforts to cultivate the tree have thusfar mostly been in vain, as the tree prefers the swampy grounds of the Svolnick Moor that do not occur elsewhere in Lovia. Trial plantations at the border of Svolnick Moor and the Southern Beaver River Forests have been more successful, but growth rates are slower than in the area where the tree is a native species. Success of cultivation depends on soil structure, acidity, moistness, and competition of other vegetations. To get the exact mixture is a very difficult and labor-intensive job, especially in a natural environment. As of now, no other areas than the smal
