Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, as this species is drought-tolerant once established.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or diseased branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavy pruning is best avoided.

Focus on maintaining a strong central leader and removing crossing branches to promote healthy structure.

Propagation is typically done by seeds, which may require scarification or stratification to improve germination rates. Cuttings are less common and can be difficult to root.

Sow seeds in a well-draining medium and maintain consistent moisture and warmth.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Mature trees are best left undisturbed in their pots or planting locations to minimize transplant shock, as they dislike root disturbance.
