Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in cooler months to prevent waterlogging.
Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially for young trees.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in cooler months to prevent waterlogging.
Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially for young trees.
Prune to shape the tree and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done during the dormant season. Light pruning can also be done after flowering to maintain desired form and size.
Propagate from seeds, which should be sown in well-draining soil after the fleshy fruit pulp has been removed. Germination can be slow and erratic. Cuttings are also possible but may be more challenging to root.
Young trees may benefit from repotting every 2-3 years into a slightly larger container with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Mature trees are often best left undisturbed in their pots or planted in situ.
