Fertilizing

Balanced shrub feed once 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

Propagate by grafting in late winter. Budding can be carried out in late summer

Growing

Easy to grow in an open but unexposed site. Will tolerate deep, humus-rich soils over chalk. See hamamelis cultivation for further information
