Its long stems and attractive leaves are also highly sought after by florists, allowing you to effortlessly bring the beauty of nature indoors with stunning floral arrangements.For optimal growth, plant in fertile, non-alkaline, free-draining soil that retains moisture. Choose a sunny location with some protection from cold winds. Regular watering and fertilising are essential until the tree is fully established. Once established, it becomes relatively drought-tolerant and requires less maintenance.If you wish to maintain a specific size or shape, prune regularly in early spring. Cut back all stems to three buds above soil level or a permanent low structure to control its vigorous growth.Please note: Images are for guidance only and represent the expected results of mature plants.
