Full Sun
Position in Full Sun (6h+) or partial shade
Moist but well-drained soil
Suits any soil type that is moist but well-drained

Any pruning should be done when the tree is fully dormant, from late summer until early winter. If you prune in late winter or early spring when the sap is 'rising' this can cause heaving bleeding of sap and weaken or even kill the tree
