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, by softwood cuttings in summer, or by grafting in winter

Thrives in well-drained, loamy, acid to neutral soil, in full or afternoon sun. Provide shelter from cold drying winds
