Cultivation
Succeeds in a hot dry position. Succeeds in any soil, preferring one that is not too rich[6][7]. Requires a well-drained soil, succeeding on dry barren sites[7]. Plants are tolerant of drought and atmospheric pollution[7]. The branches are brittle and very liable to wind damage[7]. When plants are grown in rich soils they produce coarse and rank growth which is even more liable to wind damage[8][7]. Plants sucker freely, the suckers have vicious thorns. Any pruning should be done in late summer in order to reduce the risk of bleeding[7]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[7].
This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria, these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby[7].Crops
