Makes an interesting specimen tree with attractive bark,beautiful purple foliage, reddish purple seed capsules and, in particularin very windy areas, an irregularly shaped canopy. Excellent choice forhedging purposes in coastal gardens. Cut stems with foliage and seedcapsules add an unusual dimension to floralarrangements.

Planting Guide
Prefers a sunny or partiallyshaded position in free-draining soil. Suitable for dry, exposed, andcoastal sites. Tolerates light to moderate frosts. Intolerant of very wetsoils. Soft growth responds well to trimming, but avoid pruning old wood.Lower branches can be removed to create a clear-trunk. Leaf colour isbetter when planted in poor soil. Enjoys coastal areas if shelteredinitially. Regular tip pruning will promote growth and a bushy habit.
