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

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged roots.

Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Shape the plant for airflow and to encourage fruit production.

Young plants benefit from formative pruning to establish a strong structure.

Propagate from seed sown in autumn or spring, or by taking semi-hardwood cuttings in summer. Grafting is also an effective method for established varieties. Ensure a well-draining medium for seeds and cuttings.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring, moving to a slightly larger pot. Mature plants may only need repotting every 3-5 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
