Water consistently during the growing season, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in cooler, dormant periods to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or diseased branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, which can stress the plant.

Propagation is typically done by seed, which requires scarification and soaking before sowing. Cuttings can be challenging but may be successful under ideal conditions with rooting hormone.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring, or when root-bound. Mature trees generally prefer to be left undisturbed. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that allows for adequate root growth.
