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
