Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Avoid overwatering.
Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or diseased branches, and encourage bushier growth. Light pruning can be done anytime, with heavier pruning in late winter or early spring.
Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer.
Young plants may need repotting annually into slightly larger containers. Mature trees are best left in place or repotted infrequently.
