- This plant is susceptible to snow pressure. In snowy areas, it is therefore advisable to wrap the branches with string. Otherwise, they may split apart and not fully recover. When the snow season is over, the strings must of course be removed again. - Watering less frequently, but thoroughly and thoroughly, encourages the plant roots to penetrate deeper into the soil.
