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 seed sown in a seedbed in autumn, or by budding in late summer or grafting in mid-winter
Growing
Best in moderately fertile soil in a sunny position. See apple cultivation
