Watering

Deep watering during dry spells, allowing slight surface drying between soakings

Fertilizing

Balanced shrub or tree feed once each early spring

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.

Propagation

Propagate by simple layering of suitable shoots in spring; grafting in late winter and chip budding can be carried out in late summer

Growing

Grow in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained acid to neutral soil in full sun or part shade in an open but not exposed site; tolerant of deep, humus-rich soils over chalk
