Water thoroughly when the top 2-5 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots, especially in potted specimens.

Prune to shape the tree and remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Avoid heavy pruning in summer as it can stress the tree.

Propagation is typically done through seed, which requires stratification (a period of cold, moist treatment) before sowing in spring. Softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings can also be taken in summer, but rooting success can be variable.

Repot young trees every 2-3 years in early spring, moving to a slightly larger container. Mature trees rarely need repotting and can be top-dressed with fresh soil annually. Ensure the new pot has excellent drainage.
