Pruning: Prune after spring growth to maintain shape and encourage fine branching. Maintenance pruning can be done throughout the growing season.
Fertilization: Fertilize during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer for deciduous trees. Reduce in autumn and avoid feeding in winter.
Repotting: Repot every 3–4 years, preferably in spring before new leaves emerge. Use a well-draining soil mix.
