Care & maintenance

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods. Protect from strong winds and harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crossing branches and maintain desired shape. Fertilize in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs.
