Allow for a width of 2.5 m (8 feet) when planning this plant's placement in the garden. The indicated height of 2 to 3 m (6 to 10 feet) helps in choosing its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Pair this variety with plants that have compatible light and water requirements.
