Watering

Deep watering during dry spells, let surface soil partly dry between sessions

Fertilizing

Balanced tree feed applied once every early spring growth cycle

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 softwood cuttings in early summer or semi-ripe cuttings in summer

Growing

Grow in reliably moist, fertile soil with shelter from winds, in sun or light shade. May resent being transplanted. For more advice see tree cultivation
