Description: Small shrub up to 1m high. Thorny, pendulous branches with an interesting growth habit. The graceful tumbling shape is in contrast to the sharp thorns. Can grow in sun and shade, and highly drought-tolerant. Can be used as an understory, as a wildlife barrier and in mass plantings.

Notes: Prefers a mulched bed and doesn't compete well with grasses.
