Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Monitor soil moisture, especially in potted plants.

Prune to shape the tree and remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done after flowering or in late winter before new growth begins.

Heavy pruning is generally best avoided unless necessary for structural correction or size management.

Propagation is typically done from seeds or cuttings. Seeds require scarification or soaking before sowing. Cuttings can be taken from semi-hardwood during the growing season and treated with rooting hormone.

Achieving successful propagation can be challenging.

Repot young plants annually or every two years, and mature plants less frequently, typically when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring before active growth commences.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger.
