Care Instructions Grows easily in slightly acidic, fertile, well-drained soils. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; once established, reduce frequency. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a formal appearance, prune annually after flowering.
History This shrub is native to the high elevations of Mexico preferring the protection of canyons and rocky sheltered hillsides. It was introduced into the U.S. in 1825. It is classified in the Rutaceae family and named for James Denis Choisy, Swiss botanist from Geneva.
