Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to maintain consistently moist, but not waterlogged, soil. Reduce watering frequency in winter, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to shape the tree and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth.

Heavy pruning will reduce fruit production for the season.

Propagate from seed sown in autumn or spring. Cuttings taken in summer can also be rooted, though they may be slower to establish. Stratification of seeds may improve germination rates.

Use a well-draining seed-starting mix.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring, or when root-bound. Mature trees generally require less frequent repotting, perhaps every 3-5 years. Use a good quality, well-draining potting mix.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the current one.
