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 softwood cuttings in early summer, chip budding in summer or grafting in winter. Propagate by seed (sown outdoors) in autumn

Growing

Grow in moderately fertile, humus-rich soil. Tolerant of atmospheric pollution
