Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks from spring through summer

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 layering in autumn, grafting in late winter or softwood cuttings in early summer

Growing

Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. See tree cultivation for further advice
