Select a permanent site in full sun with deep, fertile, moist but well-drained soil and exceptional clearance from buildings, services and boundaries. Indoors, keep the plant cool and bright for no more than about 7-10 days, then return it outdoors gradually.

Use deep, fertile, moist, well-drained soil. If keeping the tree in a container after Christmas, use a quality premium potting mix and move it into a larger pot as the root system fills the current container.

Maintain consistent moisture while young. Check the pot daily during indoor display and water thoroughly when the surface begins to dry. Deep watering and mulch are important through establishment after planting.

Apply a controlled-release fertiliser for trees and shrubs in spring. Pruning is generally unnecessary; retain a single leader and remove damaged branches only when required.
