Care & maintenance

Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. Protect from strong winds and harsh afternoon sun in hot climates to prevent leaf scorch. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crossing branches and to maintain desired shape.
