So lovely. I hope that my stick will be as beautiful one day. (In my life time) How old is this Simbad?.

Wow, i had no idea it could grow that big !

They grow very fast. I cut mine back to a couple of feet in early spring, and it's about seven feet tall already.

I love the colours and have 3 ..that's interesting Andrew I'm never sure how much to take off them ...

Andrew, do you still expect it to flower this year after the pruning?

11 Jun, 2014

 

It will carry a few flowers Dawn, but I grow it for foliage effect.

Thanks everyone :-)
This ones 7 or 8 years old Klahanie :-), must admit it's never really had a hard prune.
Yes this is the one your cutting was from Dawn :-)
That's just what I was going to ask Dawn,know you can hard prune them but quite like the flowers on this one :-)

Thanks Andrew,
Kathy, great minds think alike. If they get too big then we can hard prune and they'll flower again in a couple of years as before, good to know, thanks Andrew.

I had a bit of a cut back yesterday of lots of shrubs overhanging the grass, poor Rob gets poked in the eye stabbed and trips up every time he cuts the grass ooops :-)
