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 seed or by grafting
Growing
Grow in a fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Does best when sheltered from cold, drying winds
