Garrya fremontii Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers a sunny position succeeding in most well-drained fertile soils[182, 200, 202]. Succeeds in a hot dry position. Succeeds in light shade[202], the plants are also tolerant of quite deep shade[219]. Does not require a rich soil or abundant moisture[11], if the soil is too fertile the flowering will be delayed[200]. Resistant to urban pollution and maritime exposure but are subject to wind scorch from cold drying winds in colder areas[200]. Hardy to about -15°c[184], it is best on a sunny wall in most parts of the country but does very well as a free standing shrub in Devon and Cornwall[11]. In cold winters and springs the previous year's leaves may fall before the new leaves are produced[202]. The plant strongly resents root disturbance[1, 11] and should be placed in its permanent position as soon as possible. The plant flowers on wood produced the previous summer[200]. All pruning should be carried out in spring before new growth starts but after flowering has ended[1]. Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if seed is required.
