Soil type: Tolerates a wide range of soils including sandy, loamy, or clay-rich types; prefers well-drained conditions but is adaptable to poorer soils.

Watering frequency: Moderate water needs; drought-tolerant once established. Water regularly in the first two years.

Light exposure: Thrives in full sun; tolerates partial shade but with reduced flowering.

Temperature requirements: Prefers 20°C–35°C (68°F–95°F); tolerates brief drops to -5°C (23°F) but young plants are frost-sensitive.

Fertilization: Generally low nutrient requirements; apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring for best growth.

Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the canopy and remove any dead or weak branches.

Common pests: Relatively pest-resistant; occasional issues with caterpillars or leaf spot in humid regions.

Other care practices: Seeds can be invasive; monitor spread in non-native regions. Not recommended for planting near livestock due to fruit toxicity.
