Watering

Low watering needs, fully tolerate extended seasonal dry soil conditions

Fertilizing

Low-nitrogen shrub feed once annually at start of spring new growth

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 semi-hardwood cuttings or seed. For more advice see Propagate by seed

Growing

Grow outdoors in neutral to acid well-drained soil in sheltered location with full sun. Suits courtyard and urban gardens in milder locations, but will need winter protection elsewhere. Under glass, grow in ericaceous or loam-based compost (peat-free JI No.2) in full light. Resents hard pruning. For more advice see tree cultivation
