Once \’China Boy’ is established, usually by the third year, you only need to water in times of drought. The glossy green foliage takes to shearing and shaping well. \’China Boy’ is truly an exceptional landscape plant since it is cold hardy and heat tolerant. It’s glossy evergreen leaves provide year-round interest and green during the more dreary months of winter.
