Water & care
Keep soil evenly moist, not waterlogged. Water at the roots during dry spells and mulch to conserve moisture; avoid overhead watering on the corkscrew shoots.
Maintenance
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain the contorted habit; remove dead or crossing branches and thin to improve air circulation; prune in late winter if needed.
Standplaats
Plant in full sun to partial shade on well-drained soil; avoid soggy clay and strong winds; give some shelter to protect the twisting branches.
Tips
Mulch annually, feed lightly in spring, and monitor for aphids or scale. Propagation by softwood cuttings in summer can be rewarding, but enjoy the unique contorted form first.
