Uses in Gardens
- Landscaping: Taking advantage of its ability to grow well in coastal areas or high-salinity soil, it is used to create natural and soft landscaping. Important Pests and Diseases and Control Methods
- Diseases: Although no specific diseases have been reported, caution should be exercised regarding common fungal diseases. Ensure good ventilation.
