Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Provide consistent moisture during the growing season, especially for young trees. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Prune to shape the tree and remove dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth or maintain size.
Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, though germination from seed is more common.
Young trees may require repotting every 1-2 years into a larger container. Mature trees in the ground do not require repotting.
