Watering

Fertilizing

Balanced tree feed applied once every early spring growth cycle

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 budding or grafting

Growing

Grow in any moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun. For pot cultivation use a loam-based potting compost
