Watering

Water deeply during dry periods; established trees are moderately drought-tolerant.

Fertilizing

Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring before new growth appears.

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 summer, or by grafting

Growing

Thrives in moist but well drained soil, in full sun or light dappled shade. A compact cultivar, ideal for smaller gardens, containers or balcony gardens. For more information, see tree cultivation
