Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months, but do not allow the soil to become completely dry.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage a more desirable form. The best time for pruning is after flowering.

Remove any suckers that emerge from the base of the trunk to maintain the plant's structure and appearance.

Propagate primarily from seeds, which require scarification and stratification before sowing. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood or hardwood, though they may be more challenging to root.

Seed germination can be slow and variable.

Repot young trees every 2-3 years or when they become root-bound, typically in spring. Mature trees may require repotting less frequently. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting helps to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth.
