Water regularly during establishment, then infrequently. Allow soil to dry out slightly between waterings. In dry periods, provide supplemental water. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering in cooler months.

Prune to shape and maintain desired size. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime. For shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Avoid heavy pruning.

Propagate from fresh seeds sown in spring. Seeds may require scarification or soaking to improve germination. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer.

Use a well-draining potting mix and provide bottom heat for cuttings.

Repot young plants as needed, typically every 2-3 years, when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Mature trees rarely require repotting and are best left undisturbed in their final position.
