Exposure to sunlight improves the autumn colour. However shade the tree in high summer. In winter shelter it from the coldest temperatures (-10 C and over).

Everyday, in the vegetative season. In winter water it less frequently, but do not let the soil get dry.

Start fertilizing as soon as the buds open. Once a week, during the first month, then every two weeks up to late summer, setting aside the summer months.

In alternate years, for the first 10 years, then according to the needs: when the roots completely fill the pot. Use universal mould.

In spring, shorten the new growth to 2-3 leaf buds. Remove the biggest leaves during the whole vegetative season. The best moment to wire it is
just before germination.

By seeds in winter. By semi-wood cuttings by mid-summer. By layers in spring or summer.
