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 in a coldframe or seedbed in autumn or semi-hardwood cuttings in summer
