It had been clipped as a hedge and looked quite impressive. I've decided to grow a hedge of these along a fence as they seem to continually be growing and seem to be quite vigorous. Although you see it in street landscapes from time to time it doesn't appear in home gardens much. I have a hedge of Melaleuca decussatas growing along my back fence which are also very hardy but the foliage is a bit sparse. I now think that Nesophila would have been a better option.
