In milder areas, may be grown outdoors as a specimen tree, in humus-rich, moist but well drained soil in full sun. Young plants need winter protection; mature plants may survive short spells around 0°C if shoots are well-ripened in summer. In colder areas, grow under glass in a conservatory or temperate greenhouse, in loam-based compost in full light with shade from hot sun
Pruning group 1 or 8; hard pruning is tolerated. May need restrictive pruning if grown under glass
