Water regularly, especially during establishment and dry periods. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Reduce watering in cooler months, but do not allow the soil to become completely parched.

Pruning is typically done to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged branches, and encourage bushier growth. Light pruning can be done in spring or after flowering. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

Deadheading spent flowers can prevent unwanted self-seeding.

Jerusalem oak is easily propagated from seeds sown in spring, either directly outdoors or started indoors a few weeks prior. It can also be propagated from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer.

Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium.

As a generally fast-growing and somewhat sprawling plant, repotting is usually only necessary if the plant becomes root-bound. This is best done in spring before new growth begins.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one, with excellent drainage.
