Care & maintenance

Requires well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Protect from harsh afternoon sun in hot climates to prevent leaf scorch. Prune sparingly in late summer or early fall to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches; avoid heavy pruning in spring to prevent 'bleeding'. Fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer designed for ornamental trees.
