Watering

Regular deep watering dry spells, mulch protects delicate young root systems

Fertilizing

Slow-release ornamental tree feed single dose each early spring season

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

Take softwood cuttings in early or midsummer

Growing

Needs a fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in full sun and protection from cold, drying winds. Tolerant of both slightly acid and chalk soils
