Ceanothus thyrsiflorus
Blueblossom Ceanothus
An evergreen shrub that grows at a moderate pace. This plant is great for hedges, shrubs, screens, or can be trained into a small tree. In habitat its size varies greatly- some can reach up to 30 feet tall with old age, while others will stay closer to 5 feet tall. In a garden setting they can definitely be pruned to stay towards the smaller end of this variable range, i.e. 6- 15 feet tall.
Pinch and lightly prune in spring after flowering. You can remove flower clusters right after blooming to encourage a denser growth habit. If given too much water it will be short lived. You shouldn’t cut into any new growth that is larger around than a pencil; Larger cuts heal slowly and are at risk of becoming infected with apricot dieback fungus, as fungal spores are spread by rain.
