Watering

Water deeply during prolonged dry spells, especially when fruit is setting.

Fertilizing

Apply a balanced fruit-tree fertilizer in early spring and once more in early summer.

Pruning

Little pruning is needed. Remove diseased, damaged, crowded or crossing shoots and unwanted growth. Timing depends on the plant: generally late winter or early spring; plants prone to bleeding and deciduous magnolias need different timing, and deciduous azaleas and lilacs are pruned after flowering.
