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 semi-ripe cuttings in late summer or seed, soon after it drops
Growing
Grow in any deep, fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. See tree cultivation for further advice
