It grows vigorously in the sandy soils and also in heavy soils of many tropical regions. The plants are useful for screening because the foliage is dense, frequently reaching to the ground. For general planting, they should not be spaced closer than 20 feet from walks or buildings, or from each other unless one is prepared to restrain the spread by regular pruning.
