Fertilizing

Slow-release tree granular fertilizer applied single early spring dose

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 hardwood cuttings in autumn or by sowing seed soon after it drops. For more advice see propagating from seed (tree/shrub

Growing

Suited to large gardens and parkland. Grow in any well-drained but moisture-retentive soil in good light. Needs good summer weather. For more advice see tree cultivation
