& Maintenance Tips
Plant in the full sun except in the South where afternoon shade can be ok. Water in well when planted and let it dry out between waterings, as it is a dwarf and thus needs less water. It can also handle excess water, once it is established.
Cut back old branches in the fall or spring leaving 3-4 inches at the base
