New leaves emerge a maroon color that persists most of the year. 4-6' tall and wide but takes pruning well to reduce size. Suitable for hedging. Semi-evergreen to evergreen.

Water Saving Tip:
Watering every day results in shallow roots.
Instead, water deeply every few days using the Cycle and Soak method (two or more short run times, each separated by about an hour).
