Moist, fertile, well-drained loamy soil; tolerates clay and waterlogged conditions better than most trees.
High water demand, especially in summer. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during dormancy.

Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins to support rapid vertical development.
Prune in late winter to shape; remove dead wood promptly to prevent disease entry points.
