Fertilizing

Diluted deciduous shrub feed once annually at early spring growth

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 from hardwood cuttings

Growing

Grow in any fertile moisture-retentive soil, even waterlogged for short periods. Beside water is ideal.
