Minimal pruning is needed, primarily to remove dead or crossing branches. Fertilize the tree in the early spring to support healthy growth. Regularly mulch around the base to retain moisture and deter weeds.

Choose a spacious location with well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight. When planting, dig a hole that is as deep as the root ball and twice as wide. Place the tree, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Proper soil preparation is crucial for the tree's establishment.

Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first few years of growth. Provide full sun to partial shade for optimal development.
