Requires formative pruning to develop strong scaffold branch structure. weed risk No records of species becoming established in urban landscapes by self-sown seed. under powerlines Suitable. Can be pruned with care to retain its form. habitat value Provides a specific food or habitat resource for native fauna, seeds.
