Watering

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
