Pruning

Pruning group 1 or pruning group 8; keep pruning to a minimum

Propagation

Take nodal stem-tip greenwood and semi-ripe cuttings just as the base begins to firm up. Hormone rooting compound, a free-draining compost and bottom heat of 15°C will improve rooting. Layering of shoots take a year to become well rooted. May also be propagated by grafting

Pests

Aphids and scale insects may be troublesome

Diseases

May be affected by grey moulds, a leaf spot (see leaf damage on woody plants) and a virus
