Watering Requirements
Newly planted trees need regular, deep watering 1–2 times a week during their first growing season, while established trees need a deep soaking only once every 2–3 weeks during summer heat spells. Potted plants dry out quickly and require consistent watering 2–3 times a week, or daily checks during peak summer heat.
Sunlight Requirements
Thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth. Tolerates very light partial shade, but too much shade leads to sparse, leggy branching, and a loose canopy structure.
Humidity Requirements
Pet-Friendly Plant?
Yes, this plant is safe for homes with pets.
