Water generously during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent waterlogging.

Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, as this species is sensitive to consistently wet conditions.

Pruning is minimal and primarily for shaping or removing dead or damaged branches. Prune lightly in spring to encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning as it can stress the plant.

Ensure tools are clean to prevent disease.

Propagation is challenging, typically achieved through cuttings from mature trees, though rooting can be slow and inconsistent. Grafting onto established rootstock is a more reliable method for creating new plants.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years, or when rootbound. Mature trees are best left undisturbed. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, sand, and perlite.

Repot in spring before the active growth period begins.
