Provide consistent moisture, especially during establishment. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months but avoid letting the soil become completely dry.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Shape young trees to encourage a strong structure. Minimal pruning is typically required for mature trees.

Perform pruning in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Propagation is primarily done through seeds, which require scarification or stratification to improve germination rates. Grafting onto rootstock can also be employed for specific cultivars.

Cuttings are generally difficult to root.

Young plants may require repotting every 2-3 years into a slightly larger container as they outgrow their current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Mature trees are best left undisturbed in their location, as they are sensitive to root disturbance.
