Grown for its classic deep-green evergreen foliage which is easily
shaped into specimen plants to frame garden entryways or kept trimmed
as a formal hedge or simply allowed to grow naturally for informal
screening.
Plant 2-3' apart for hedges. Plants will grow together in a couple of
years. In winter, plants sometimes turn a bit bronze, greening back up
in early spring.
Plants slowly mature at 6' tall by 4' wide. May easily trim anytime
between March and August to keep at 3-4' tall and wide. Expect only
about 4" growth a year.
Plant in sun to quite heavy shade. Plants are very drought-tolerant
after their first year in the garden.
