Spondias dulcis prefers consistent moisture, especially during its establishment phase and when fruiting. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.

Reduce watering slightly during dormancy in cooler periods, but avoid letting the soil become completely parched. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune Spondias dulcis primarily to shape the tree, remove dead or diseased branches, and improve air circulation.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Pinching back young shoots can encourage bushier growth and fruit-bearing spurs.

Spondias dulcis can be propagated from seeds, which require stratification and are slow to germinate. Stem cuttings are a more reliable method.

Take cuttings of about 15-30 cm from healthy, mature wood in the spring or summer. Plant them in a well-draining rooting medium, keeping it consistently moist and warm for successful rooting.

Young Spondias dulcis plants benefit from repotting every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.

Mature trees, especially those grown in the ground, rarely require repotting. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
