Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. Reduce watering in cooler months. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or damaged branches, and control size. 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 cuttings are treated with rooting hormone for better success.
Repot young trees every 1-2 years in spring. Mature trees are less frequent, only when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a slightly larger pot.
