Water regularly, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.

Deep watering is preferable to frequent shallow watering to encourage strong root development.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches. Selective thinning can improve air circulation and tree structure.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the tree.

Propagation is typically done from seeds sown in autumn or by grafting in late winter. Seed propagation can be slow and may not result in true-to-type plants. Cuttings are generally difficult to root.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring. Mature trees are best left undisturbed. Use a well-draining potting mix. Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid over-potting.
