Thrives in moist, well drained soil in a sunny to partly shaded position.  Tolerates dry conditions when established.  Tolerant of coastal conditions.  This hardy, adaptable tree is relatively pest and disease resistant.  Protect from frost when young.  Cultivate soil before planting.  Dig hole twice the width of the container.  Remove plant from container and place in the hole so the soil level of the plant is the same as the surrounding ground.  Fill hole firmly and water in well even if the soil is moist.
