info		 This shrub should be watered deeply and regularly (when the top couple of inches of soil has dried). Usually this will mean once every week or two during dry weather. A few years after the shrub was planted, once it’s established, you can likely cut back to deep infrequent waterings. Use drippers, emitters a slow stream of water so that it doesn’t run off; allow the water to trickle all the way down through the deepest layers of soil.

Growing Notes

Naturally grows into a well formed, shrubby, multi trunked tree, but can also be pruned and maintained in a smaller bushier form. It can even be sheered into a hedge.
Superb coastal tree tolerates the brunt of salty winds, which form its shape into a lower windswept form.
