Care & maintenance

Prefers well-drained, consistently moist soil enriched with organic matter. Protect from strong winds and harsh afternoon sun, especially in warmer climates, to prevent leaf scorch. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crossing branches and maintain desired shape. Avoid heavy pruning, which can harm its natural form. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature.
