Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in autumn and winter, providing just enough to keep the soil from completely drying out.

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

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain the tree's shape and health.

Light shaping can be done during the growing season if necessary, but avoid heavy pruning.

Propagate from seeds sown in autumn or spring, or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require a period of cold stratification.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and planted in a well-draining medium.

Repot young trees every 2-3 years in spring, and mature trees less frequently, as needed, when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid overwatering issues.
