Foliage

Form
Round
   
Mature Size 5 x 3m    
Uses Fantastic as a street tree because of its smaller growth and can also be used as an informal hedge because of its dense foliage. It also is a great bird attractant.    
Position & Soil Adaptable to most soils but prefers a well drained full sun position. Sites similar to coastal conditions are perfect. It's ideal for tough conditions e.g. drought conditions or poor soil.
