Watering: Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.Fertilizing: Feed the tree with a balanced fertilizer that has a higher percentage of nitrogen.Pruning: Prune the tree when it's about 12 inches tall, making a cut above the second set of leaves from the top.
