Watering: Ensure the tree receives consistent water after planting. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during extended dry spells.

Mulching: Use organic mulch around the base, maintaining a gap from the trunk. This aids in moisture retention and weed control.

Pruning: Trim lightly post-flowering to maintain shape, if necessary.
