Sorry, Ginda. You said that in your original email.

Current width is about a half meter. From what I've seen so far, the width
can be managed. It doesn't appear to be very spreading. More of a narrow
cylinder. Then again, it's much hotter here & I've only 1 bush.

Best regards,

Anton
North Carolina
Zone 8
