Planting guide

Plant in spring or autumn in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Choose a sheltered position away from strong winds and intense afternoon sun to reduce the risk of leaf scorch. Water regularly while establishing.

Care tips

Keep soil evenly moist, especially during warm weather and in containers. Avoid heavy pruning and remove only damaged or crossing branches during winter dormancy.

Winter care

Apply mulch around the base in autumn to protect roots and conserve moisture. Shelter young or container-grown plants from cold winds and severe frost during winter.
