Care Tips: 1. Sunlight: 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. 2. Soil: Well-draining, slightly acidic soil; add compost. 3. Watering: Regular but avoid overwatering; let soil dry slightly between watering. 4. Fertilizing: High-nitrogen fertilizer in spring and mid-summer. 5. Pruning: Annually in late winter/early spring; remove dead branches. 6. Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the base, leaving space around the trunk. 7. Pest Control: Watch for aphids and spider mites; use insecticidal soap if needed. 8. Cold Protection: Cover young trees during frost; mature trees are hardier.
