General Care
- Sunlight: Requires at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil; tolerates a variety of soil types.
- Watering: Water regularly during the first year to establish strong roots. Once established, water as needed during extended dry periods.
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it slightly away from the trunk. This helps retain moisture and moderate soil temperature.
