Shear or trim in early spring, just before bud break. Allow to grow out and trim once or twice more through the season.
When trimming, avoid cutting into thick stems – prune to shape only.
Yellowing on leaf margin may indicate a micronutrient deficiency; use fertilizers that contain micronutrients to avoid.
Spider mites, scale, and aphids are most common pests – treat according to your IPM protocol.
Use good sanitation to eliminate spread of leaf spots and fungal diseases.
