Plant this slowgrowing form in full sun and coppice every few years if you prefer to grow it as a small shrub rather than as a 10m tree.

In an exposed, rocky position it may be a bonsai-like small shrub.

It grows as a small shrub to 1 m (4 ft) high, and has hairy new branches and leaves.

Usually a vine or small shrub growing in moist areas.

Pruning can be employed to maintain the tree as a small shrub if required and more shaded spots will restrict growth.
