Comments:
Has become established in the arid west and crowds out some native species. It is said ti be a noxious, invasive pest. It flowers on previous years growth and any pruning should be done immediately after summer flowering. If left unpruned, it becomes leggy and flops over. wide spreading deciduous shrub or small tree to 15 ft (4.6 m) tall with a similar spread. This has purplish bark and arching greenish purple shoots with scale-like green leaves.
