I will ditto everything mothernature said about this plant. So far it has been absolutely care-free for me. I really don't have to keep it pruned, but I have 1 on each side of my garage and one seems to be growing faster than the other. I top prune to get them to look even. Other than rainfall, it gets no supplemental watering at all. Our dry hot summers don't seem to faze it.
I will say that in the spring they are covered with sweet-smelling blooms and these attract tons of bees- of which I am allergic to.
One vendor has this plant for sale.
