Provide acidic amendments like peat moss pine bark and leaf mold to a depth of 12 inches in clay soil. Use pine straw as mulch and water heavily once weekly in dry spells. Water lightly two to three times weekly for two months after planting. Avoid overfertilizing with phosphorus and use 8-8-8 or 12-8-8 fertilizer. Prune soon after flowering, remove crowded limbs, and do not shear to preserve natural form.
