Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent complete desiccation.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Prune 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 is best done in late winter before new growth begins.

Propagate by seeds, which require scarification and soaking before sowing in a well-draining medium. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood or hardwood in summer or winter, respectively, and treated with rooting hormone.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring as they outgrow their containers. Mature trees are best left undisturbed, but if repotting is necessary, do so with minimal root disturbance.

Use a well-draining potting mix.
