Deep, fertile, well-drained loam; tolerates clay and alkaline soils.
Water regularly when young; drought tolerant once established. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins.
Prune dead or damaged branches in late winter; minimal pruning required due to strong structure.
