Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering during cooler periods or when the plant is dormant.
Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or diseased branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done after fruiting to encourage new growth and fruit set.
Best propagated by grafting or budding onto rootstock. Seeds can be used but may result in variable fruit quality and longer time to maturity.
Not typically repotted as it is a large tree. Young grafted plants may require repotting into larger containers as they grow.
