Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, especially for mature trees. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Overwatering is more detrimental than underwatering for this species.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or damaged branches, and improve air circulation. The best time for pruning is after flowering.

Heavy pruning can delay flowering in subsequent years, so focus on maintaining its natural form.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which require scarification and a period of cold stratification. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, but are more difficult to root and require a humid environment.

Young trees benefit from repotting every 2-3 years in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space. Mature trees are generally best left in situ or repotted infrequently. Use a well-draining potting mix.
