Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in autumn and winter, especially for established plants.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

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 in autumn and winter, especially for established plants.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth.
Heavy pruning can be undertaken to rejuvenate older plants.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer, or from seed sown in autumn or spring. Seeds may require stratification to break dormancy.
Cuttings should be placed in well-draining compost and kept in a propagator or under cover.
Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring. Mature trees are generally best left undisturbed. Use a good quality, well-draining loam-based compost. Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.
