Water: Wooly-flowered persimmon thrives in moderately dry conditions with drought tolerance, requiring watering every 2-3 weeks. As an evergreen, it retains leaves year-round, helping conserve water during dry spells.

Fertilize: For optimal growth, wooly-flowered persimmon requires balanced fertilizers in spring and summer, switching to high nitrogen during active growth. Apply monthly at quarter strength to enhance foliage and fruit quality. Reduce winter feeding and ensure proper watering before and after fertilization to prevent root burn.

Pruning: Wooly-flowered persimmon thrives with selective pruning in early spring to remove dead or diseased branches and overcrowding. This promotes airflow, reduces disease risk, and encourages growth and fruit production. Avoid over-pruning to prevent stress, using clean, sharp tools for optimal results.

Propagation: Wooly-flowered persimmon propagates effectively via cuttings by choosing healthy, disease-free stems. Utilizing rooting hormone in a well-draining medium under high humidity and indirect light is essential. Regular misting maintains moisture without oversaturation, crucial for establishing a strong root system.
