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
Propaagate by semi-hardwood cuttings
Growing
Grow in moderately fertile, preferably acid or neutral, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun for best autumn colour
