Fertilizing

Light slow release conifer 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

Root semi-hardwood cuttings in early autumn. May be grafted to rootstock to create a standard tree.

Growing

Grow in any well-drained soil, including dry, chalky or sandy soils, preferably in full sun or in light dappled shade.
