I planted 3 of these last August and now have an entire hedge from cuttings taken from the original 3. They do quite well here in St. Petersburg. I trim them periodically to keep the height uniform. I stick the cuttings in a pot with some rootone and they readily generate new roots. I have also just stuck the cuttings in the ground, but they don't root as easily using this method. In the winter they lost some of their vigor but have now come back beautifully.
