Watering

Water deeply during dry periods; established trees are moderately drought-tolerant.

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 chip budding in late summer. Grafting can be carried out in midwinter
