Question Icing In Cumuliform Clouds

Have just started reading a book on aircraft icing and was intrigued to see a statement and accompanying chart saying that the icing envelope for cumuliforms was between 4000 - 24000 feet. Below 4000ft even in sub zero temperatures, it was stated that icing would not occur....
Am yet to get into the physics of this however it's certainly something I have never heard of before. Appreciated that the base of CU with <0 temp is not often sub 4000ft but interesting all the same. Any comments?
