Watering

Water deeply and regularly during dry spells; mulch to keep the root zone cool.

Fertilizing

Apply a balanced tree fertilizer in early spring and after bloom.

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.
