Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or damaged branches, and encourage bushier growth. Light pruning can be done any time of year. For significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium in a warm, humid environment.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature trees can be repotted less frequently, every 3-4 years. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one and use a well-draining potting mix.
