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 sowing seed soon after it drops or by semi-ripe cuttings in late summer
Growing
Suited to large gardens and parkland. Grow in any well-drained but moisture-retentive soil in good light. For more advice see tree cultivation
