Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during cooler months. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Overwatering is more detrimental than occasional underwatering for this species.

Prune to maintain shape and remove dead or diseased branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can stress the plant and reduce fruit production.

Ensure pruning tools are clean and sharp.

Propagation is typically done through seeds, which require stratification. Cuttings can also be taken from mature plants, but success rates can be variable. Seedlings require consistent warmth and moisture to establish.

Patience is key for successful propagation.

Repot young plants annually or as needed when root-bound. Mature trees are generally left in place or repotted infrequently. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball to avoid overwatering issues.
