Hello Andrew,
Answers to questions.
It is very tough and long lived. Easily multiplied by cuttings.
Yes has been hybridized. We in Australia have two locally created
offspring. The one most common and has been around for some time is known
as Robiniflorum and a more recent introduction is Edwards Avenall Both of
these are even tougher than the species and flower allmost all year.
