The plant is traditionally raised as a an ornamental or a container plant. An excellent accent landscape plant in the southwest. Plant in full sun to part shade. It requires little care or pruning but will tolerate shearing if desired.
The tree will stay relatively small in stature as far as shrubs go, making this a good opportunity for a beautiful bonsai work of art. Hardy in zones 9-11 and thrives in full sun. Let dry between waterings once established. No Frost
