Water consistently, especially when young and during dry periods. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering during winter dormancy.

Prune to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done to shape the tree and improve air circulation. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

Best to prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Propagation is primarily done from seeds, which require stratification (a period of cold, moist conditions) to germinate. Cuttings are difficult to root and generally not recommended for home gardeners.

Sow seeds in well-draining soil in spring.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring to provide fresh soil and space for root growth. Mature trees are best left undisturbed. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a mix of peat, sand, and loam.

Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
