Fertilizing
Balanced tree feed applied once every early spring growth cycle
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 sowing seed in a seedbed in autumn, by chip budding in late summer or grafting in midwinter
Growing
Grow in moderately fertile soil in a sunny position; will tolerate partial shade
