Water
Water regularly, especially during establishment and dry periods, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering in cooler months when growth slows.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, especially during establishment and dry periods, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering in cooler months when growth slows.
Prune after flowering to shape the tree, remove dead or damaged branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done to manage size and encourage bushier growth.
Avoid heavy pruning, which can stress the tree.
Propagate from seeds sown in spring or semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification.
Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and planted in well-draining soil in a warm, humid environment.
Repot young trees every 1-2 years in spring, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. For mature trees, repotting is rarely needed; focus on top-dressing with fresh soil annually if container-grown.
