Watering

Deep periodic watering, extra supply during hot dry summer spells

Fertilizing

Large tree slow release feed applied single time 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 hardwood cuttings in winter and from suckers in autumn or late winter

Growing

Cultivated for very rapid growth as a specimen tree; useful as windbreaks. This species will tolerate most soils except those that are constantly waterlogged and in full sun. Avoid growing within 40m of buildings as the vigorous root system may damage drains and foundations, particularly on clay soils; has the potential to become a nuisance
