Sue Z tells me that Evenstar, planted as a small cutting-grown plant at the Petticoat Lane garden just under 4 years ago, has reached 8' x 8 (2.4m x 2.4) - very large, very dense, very healthy and very pretty.
And from my recollection, also very prickly.
Be careful where you plant it.

The original seedling is now even bigger. It has been cut back to 50cm stumps three times since 2010 and each time it comes back stronger. It is currently sitting at about 12' x 8'. Its branches have reached, and gone past, the gutters of the house.

That's quite some bush!
You'll be saddened to hear, as will everyone who met him, that Viru, who sent you the seed, has died. He was a lovely man.

I had heard. I sat under the shade of 'Evenstar' this morning and reflected on what a beautiful soul he was. It is very sad news.
