Buchanania lanzan prefers moderate watering. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, especially during the dormant season.

In hot, dry climates, increase watering frequency but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune to shape the tree and remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after fruiting.

Major structural pruning is best performed during the dormant season to encourage vigorous growth in the spring. Aim for an open canopy.

Propagation is primarily done through seeds. Seeds require scarification or pre-treatment to break dormancy. Grafting is also a common method for commercial production to ensure desirable traits.

Seedlings can take several years to mature and fruit.

Repot young trees every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Mature trees require less frequent repotting, perhaps every 4-5 years. Repot in spring before new growth begins, using well-draining potting mix.

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