Water regularly, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top few inches of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

Reduce watering in cooler months when growth slows down.

Prune to shape the tree and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to maintain form. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the tree.

Ensure cuts are clean and made just above a bud or lateral branch.

Propagate primarily from seeds sown in spring after scarification or soaking to improve germination. Cuttings can be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, but success rates may vary.

Grafting is also an option for more controlled propagation.

Repot young trees every 2-3 years in spring as needed to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Mature trees typically do not require repotting and are best left in situ.

Use a well-draining potting mix.
