Watering

Fertilizing

Light conifer feed once yearly in early spring only

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 in early autumn

Growing

Grow in any well-drained soil, including dry, chalky or sandy soils, preferably in full sun or in light dappled shade. See conifer cultivation for further advice
