Description:

The denseness provided by the small ovate leaves makes for a good hedge that some small birds use for a nesting site. It has a good growth rate of 40-60cm per year dependent on conditions reaching a maximum of 4m tall. To keep it neat we would recommend trimming it twice per year. It will tolerate most conditions including shade and exposed areas. When planted as bare root, we would advise to prune the plants hard to encourage bushy growth. Great for windproofing and privacy screening.
