Watering

Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but well-drained, especially during dry spells.

Fertilizing

Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again in midsummer.

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.
