Fertilizing

Balanced tree feed in 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 seed, sown fresh in autumn, or by softwood cuttings in early summer

Growing

Thrives in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil in sun or light dappled shade. See tree cultivation for further advice
