Cultivation Notes:  An easily grown plant, succeeding in most soils and tolerant of saline conditions[11]. Grows well in heavy clay soils as well as in sands and even shingle[182]. Usually found near the coast, it succeeds inland if given a fairly good deep loam and a sunny position[11, 200]. Tolerant of maritime winds and dry soils when grown near the coast[11], plants require a moister soil and shelter from cold drying winds when they are grown inland in non-saline soils because they use the soil salts that are found in saline soils to help them reduce transpiration[200]. Closely related to T. africana but much hardier[200]. Another report says that this species is a synonym of T. chinensis[11]. Growth can be restricted by cutting back the plants in spring, hedges are also best trimmed at this time[188]. The flowers are produced on the previous years growth[200]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
