Care & maintenance
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods. Protect young plants from strong winds and harsh afternoon sun. Pruning is rarely needed but can be done in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches and to maintain desired shape. Fertilize sparingly in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.
