African ElemiCanarium schweinfurthii

Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to maintain consistent soil moisture. Reduce watering in cooler months but do not allow the soil to dry out completely.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or damaged branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done anytime, while heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Can be propagated from seeds, which require stratification, or through cuttings. Seed germination can be slow and erratic. Cuttings should be taken from healthy, mature wood.

As a large tree, repotting is generally not applicable for mature specimens. Young plants in containers should be repotted into larger pots every 1-2 years as they outgrow their current container.
