Planting & Growing

Prefers enriched, slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soil. Shelter from drying winds. Water deeply, regularly during first few growing seasons to develop root system; reduce frequency once established. Feed in early spring. May be pruned annually to shape or maintain smaller size; remove no more than the current season's growth.
