Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in autumn and winter.
Drought tolerance increases with maturity, but consistent moisture is best for optimal growth and health, especially in young plants.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins for structural shaping. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to maintain shape or control size.
Avoid heavy pruning in summer as it can weaken the tree.
Propagate from seed sown in autumn, or by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seed germination can be slow and may require stratification.
Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a moist, well-draining medium.
Young plants benefit from repotting every 2-3 years in spring. Mature trees are less frequent, perhaps every 5-7 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Trim any circling roots during repotting to encourage outward growth.
