Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, typically during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly in cooler, dormant periods to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or crossing branches, and manage size. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagate primarily from seeds sown in spring. Scarify seeds before sowing. Cuttings are also possible but can be more challenging to root. Ensure seeds are fresh for best germination rates.

Young plants may benefit from repotting every 2-3 years in spring. Mature trees rarely need repotting and prefer to be slightly pot-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
