Care & maintenance

Easily grown in a variety of soils, though prefers well-drained, acidic to neutral soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Once established, it is moderately drought-tolerant. Prune annually in late winter or early spring to maintain desired shape and density. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood. Fertilize in spring with a balanced evergreen fertilizer.
