Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially for young plants.

Established trees are relatively drought-tolerant but benefit from occasional deep watering.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or damaged branches, and improve air circulation. Minimal pruning is generally required for established trees.

The best time to prune is after fruiting or in late winter before new growth begins. Avoid heavy pruning, which can stress the plant.

Propagation is typically done through seeds, which require scarification and soaking before sowing. Grafting is also a common method for fruit trees to ensure desired traits.

Air layering can be successful but is more challenging. Start seeds in well-draining soil mix in a warm environment.

Young plants may need repotting every 1-2 years into a slightly larger container. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Mature trees generally do not require frequent repotting and are often best left undisturbed once established in the ground. Repot in spring before active growth starts.
