Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Provide consistent moisture, particularly when young or during hot, dry spells. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to shape the tree. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce flowering and fruiting.
Propagate by grafting or semi-hardwood cuttings in summer. Seed propagation is possible but may result in variable offspring. Grafting is preferred for maintaining desirable traits.
Repot young trees every 2-3 years in spring. Mature trees generally do not require repotting. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes and use a well-draining potting mix.
