Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water deeply and regularly, especially during the first few years and dry spells. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Avoid heavy pruning as it can disrupt the natural form. Shape only if necessary for structural integrity.
Best propagated from seed sown in autumn or early spring. Grafting can be used for specific cultivars. Cuttings are difficult to root and generally not recommended for home propagation.
Repot young trees every 2-3 years in early spring before new growth emerges. Mature trees rarely need repotting. Use a well-draining potting mix and a slightly larger pot.
