Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in fall and winter. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots, which can lead to rot.

Established trees are quite drought-tolerant.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pruning can also be used to shape the tree and maintain a desired size and form.

Avoid heavy pruning as it can reduce flowering and fruiting.

Propagate from seed, which requires a period of cold stratification. Softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings can be taken in summer and rooted under humid conditions.

Grafting is another option, usually performed in late winter.

Repot young trees every 2-3 years in spring as needed to replenish soil and provide more space. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Mature trees typically do not require repotting and are best left in their permanent location.
