A semi-evergreen medium tree or large shrub, which branches to ground level, reaching around 15m. The leaves are green above, though emerge pale and downy, remaining so on their lower surface.

Watering

Moderate regular watering, avoid prolonged drought or waterlogging

Fertilizing

Balanced feed in spring and light repeat in growth season

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 in the most sheltered spot in mild areas. Grow in preferably limey, well-drained but moisture-retentive soil in good light. See tree cultivation for further advice
