Water generously during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months, but do not let the soil become completely dry.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially for young plants.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done at any time of the year, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Remove crossing branches.

Propagation is typically done by seeds, which require stratification or scarification to germinate. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, but success rates can be variable.

Provide consistent moisture and warmth.

Repot young plants annually in spring to provide fresh soil and more space for root growth. Mature trees may only need repotting every 2-3 years.

Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
