Re: Amicia zygomeris

I have one here, in good soil and I watered it once this summer so seems pretty drought tolerant.  I was impressed by it's winter hardiness, it came back from the rootstock after one of our worst winters last year.

Just acquired a Amicia zygomeris from Cistus Nursery near Portland.  Really interesting looking foliage and evidently a member of the legume family. It doesn't look like it will be very drought tolerant, but I've been surprised before.

 Anyone have any experience growing it?  I'm curious how it does in a dry Mediterranean climate
