Water: Water prunus 'Umineko' based on its growth stage, local weather, and soil condition. Water once before budding, then monthly until fall, ensuring thorough moisture. Loosen soil and remove weeds post-watering. Cease watering in autumn and winter to prevent frost damage.

Fertilize: Prunus 'Umineko' requires fertilization for healthy growth and fruit production. Use organic fertilizer, applying it twice yearly—first before blooming and again during fruit enlargement. Apply the fertilizer in a trench around the tree crown, 38 cm (15 inches) deep and 28 cm (11 inches) wide.

Pruning: Prunus 'Umineko' produces dense, white blooms in spring. Prune early to shape and promote growth, removing dead branches and crossing limbs for better air circulation. Avoid heavy pruning to prevent reduced flowering; regular light pruning encourages new growth. Use clean, sharp tools to minimize damage.

Propagation: Prunus 'Umineko' can be propagated by grafting in mid-spring or using buds in summer. Cut a T-shaped opening in the stock, insert the branch or bud, and bind with plastic. After 10-20 days, remove the wrap once healed and established.
