Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce frequency in winter.
Prune to shape the tree and remove dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, with heavier pruning best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Ensure good drainage for seed germination.
Young plants may need repotting every 1-2 years. Mature trees are less frequent. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes.
