Cultural Notes: Although not as aggressive and vigorously suckering as the Green Mop Top, always remove suckers that grow beneath the graft. Damaging the roots can often lead to suckering so be careful mowing and whipping. Although drought tolerant, watering deeply will encourage roots away from the surface. Mulching under trees instead of turf will also avoid accidental mower damage. Does prefer constant moisture levels. Plant 6m apart for Avenue creation. Prune to shape with necessary.
