Care & maintenance

Easily grown in a variety of soils, provided they are well-drained. Prefers full sun for best growth and density, but will tolerate some light shade. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant. Light pruning can be done in late winter or early spring to maintain a desired shape or remove any dead branches, though it naturally maintains its narrow form. Fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer.
