Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in fall and winter to prevent waterlogging. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.

Overwatering can be detrimental, so err on the side of slightly dry rather than consistently wet.

Prune to shape the tree and remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done after flowering. Heavy pruning is generally not recommended as it can reduce flowering in subsequent years.

Pinching young shoots can encourage a bushier growth habit if desired.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which may require scarification or soaking before planting. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer. Grafting is another method used for specific cultivars.

Seed germination can be slow and irregular.

Young plants benefit from repotting every 1-2 years in spring. Mature trees are less frequent, perhaps every 3-5 years, only when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting can stimulate new growth and improve overall plant health.
