It tolerates pruning well and can be shaped into a fuller shrub or hedge. Plants may also produce multiple stems from the base and can eventually form thickets where conditions are favorable.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e💧 Water (establishment note)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Water regularly during establishment.
