The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. Requires a well-drained fertile soil in a sheltered position in sun or light shade[1, 200]. Prefers a warm soil that is not too heavy or close[11]. Tolerates calcareous soils[11, 200]. Dislikes windy sites[11]. Plants are susceptible to fireblight[200]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
