Hi Carin
Thanks for visiting Plantbook.
The roots of Rothmannia globosa can spread up to 6m and it is safe to plant it at least 2m from any structure.

Hi Glenice
what does the root system of Rothmannia globosa look like? Can it be planted in close proximity of a boundary wall and swimming pool?
Hi Jeanette
Thanks for visiting Plantbook.
The Gardenia family, to which Rothmannia globosa belongs, is relatively easy to propagate from seed. Perhaps your seeds were parasitised?
Seed should be collected when the fruit turns brown. Rinse off the pulp and soak the seeds in boiling water before planting out.
Flourish!
