Water regularly, especially when young, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mature trees are more drought-tolerant but benefit from deep watering during prolonged dry spells.

Avoid overhead watering to minimize fungal issues.

Prune to establish a strong central leader and scaffold branches, removing crossing or rubbing limbs. Best done during dormancy (late winter) to improve structure and remove dead or diseased wood.

Maintain a natural shape, avoiding heavy reduction cuts.

Propagate from seeds collected in fall, which require a period of cold stratification. Cuttings are also possible but can be challenging; semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer may root with the aid of rooting hormone and controlled conditions.

Repot young trees every 2-3 years in early spring before bud break. Use a well-draining potting mix.

For mature trees, repotting is rarely necessary unless the tree is root-bound or exhibiting poor growth, which is uncommon for established landscape specimens.
