I have been keeping a 5' specimen in a 5 gallon pot for 6 years now. I neglect it terribly. The soil dries out quickly during our hot summers and generally resembles concrete. Despite all of this, it is toughing it out and even growing.

I've never seen any disease or pest problem of any kind on this plant. It is quite drought tolerant, and has beautiful foliage all year long. It is not extremely fast growing, but it keeps its tall pointed shape with minimal if any pruning.

This handsome evergreen has very dense, blue-green foliage and a natural pyramidal shape that does not require pruning. Has execellent drought tolerance once established. A tough, durable plant, good for a foundation planting, an informal hedge or a chrub border. Grows well under most conditons except wet soil.
