Watering

Minimal watering, soil remains mostly dry all year long

Fertilizing

Diluted evergreen feed single mild dose 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 (tree/shrub). Remove seed from flesh as soon as ripe and sow in containers in a cold frame. Germination may take up to 5 years. Root semi-hardwood cuttings in early autumn.
