Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Overwatering is a common issue for this species.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage bushier growth. The best time to prune is after flowering. Heavy pruning can be done to rejuvenate older plants.

Remove suckers from the base to maintain a single-trunk form.

Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring, often requiring scarification or soaking. Cuttings taken from semi-hardwood in summer can also be successful, usually requiring a rooting hormone and a humid environment to establish.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 3-5 years, or when rootbound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
