<p>Sentul trees thrive in a variety of habitats, ranging from coastal areas to Kerengas forests at altitudes of up to 1200 meters. They are commonly found in both primary and secondary forests, often near rivers, streams, on hillsides, and along ridges. In secondary forests, they are typically remnants from before disturbances.</p> <p>The tree blooms annually, with its flowers being pollinated by insects and its fruits being consumed by frugivorous mammals. Sentul trees can be propagated through various methods such as seed planting, budding, grafting, and marcotting. It is crucial to sow the seeds promptly as they lose viability quickly, with a high germination rate of 90-95% within three weeks.</p>
