Watering

Water deeply during establishment, then only in prolonged dry periods

Fertilizing

Balanced tree or 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. Trim hedges in early spring.

Propagation

Propagate by semi-ripe cuttings in late summer or early autumn or propagate by hardwood cuttings in January with bottom heat

Growing

Grow in moist but well-drained soil in full sun or part shade with shelter from cold winds. Suited to mild southern counties or inner city locations only
