Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogged roots. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in container-grown plants. Overwatering is a common issue.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can shape the tree and encourage flowering.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce flowering and fruit production.

Best propagated from seeds sown in autumn or early spring, or by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification to break dormancy.

Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium with bottom heat.

Repot young trees every 2-3 years in spring as they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. For mature trees, repotting is rarely necessary and can be stressful.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the old one.
