Water deeply and regularly, especially during establishment and dry periods. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.

Reduce watering frequency in cooler months, but avoid letting the soil become completely arid. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.

Prune to shape the tree and remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Avoid heavy pruning, as this species generally has a graceful natural form that is best preserved.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which may require scarification or stratification to break dormancy. Cuttings can also be attempted, but are generally less successful.

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

Repot young saplings only when they become root-bound, typically every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix. Mature trees rarely need repotting and are best left undisturbed in their final location.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
