Extremely hardy, drought-tolerant, and resistant to climate changes. During the early 1980s, many advent actors and television directors would plant this specimen along streets in Hollywood, California. Currently, one can still drive down Hollywood Blvd. to view the lovely specimen. With the appropriate design, one can create an endless array of shapes. A great addition near swimming pools and hillsides. Interestingly, variegated forms with yellow striations have recently been cultivated.
