Water regularly, especially when young, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, Mexican Plum is drought-tolerant, requiring watering only during prolonged dry spells.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so adjust frequency based on rainfall and soil drainage.

Prune in late winter or early spring before bud break to shape the tree and remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This promotes better air circulation and encourages fruit production.

Light pruning can also be done after fruiting to maintain size and form.

Mexican Plum can be propagated by seed, which requires stratification, or through grafting onto suitable rootstock.

Softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer, though success rates may vary. Patience is key for seed propagation.

Repotting is generally not required for established landscape trees. For container-grown specimens, repot every 2-3 years in early spring.

Use a well-draining potting mix and a slightly larger container to accommodate root growth. Ensure adequate drainage holes.
