Water regularly, especially when young, ensuring the soil dries slightly between waterings. Mature trees are drought-tolerant and require minimal supplemental watering once established.

Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Prune to shape young trees or remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This species responds well to pruning, and it can be maintained as a smaller specimen if desired.

Major pruning should ideally be done in late winter or early spring.

Propagate from seed, which typically requires scarification or stratification before sowing. Germination can be erratic.

Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, but are generally more difficult to root successfully.

Repotting is rarely necessary for mature trees, as they prefer to be undisturbed. Young plants grown in containers should be repotted when root-bound, typically every 1-2 years, into a slightly larger pot using well-draining soil.
