Fertilizing

Balanced feed monthly during active growth 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

Propagate by grafting or by layering

Growing

Tolerant of most soil types as long as well-drained; grows well in chalky soils. For best leaf colour and fruit production grow in sunny position. For fruit production see cobnuts and filberts
