Once established, it needs little to no supplemental water in coastal climates, while also being exceptionally tolerant of heat, and poor, compacted soil. Evergreen. |

| Care | Water deeply in the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Drought tolerant once established; may need more water in hot, inland areas. Best in average to poor soils.

Provide a layer of mulch once a year. Not other amendments or fertilizers are necessary. |
