Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water new plants regularly until established. Mature plants are drought-tolerant and require supplemental watering only during extended dry periods.
Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Can be shaped for aesthetic purposes or to control size, but avoid over-pruning.
Easily propagated from seed, which requires a period of cold stratification. Cuttings can also be taken in summer, but are more difficult to root.
Not typically grown in pots. If necessary, repot in early spring before bud break, using a well-draining soil mix and pruning roots if needed.
