Care
| Sun | Full Sun, Semi shade |
| Soil | Plant in slightly acidic or neutral soil (pH 6.6 - 7.5) with high organic matter content (eg., compost, manure, leaf mold) and good drainage. A soil with coarse texture, such as sandy soil or sandy loam, is ideal. The plant is tolerant of drought. |
| Water | Should water the plant regularly, several times a week during the dry weather |
| Fertilizer | Trees should be fertilized in the landscape two to three times a year with a balanced fertilizer. Constant fertilization can raise acid levels too high, however. If this happens, add some Epsom salts to the soil to neutralize it. |
