Main asset

Solid, easy plant, withstanding pollution and salted spray, widely used in towns or coastal locations for these reasons, in low or medium-sized monospecific hedges, to be trimmed twice a year (end of June and beginning of October).

Remarks

Plant in a sheltered situation from cold winds in zones 6 and 7. It behaves better in deep soil, not too acidic, remaining humid in summer (and is less susceptible to Cochineal and Powdery mildew under these conditions)
