The Chilean fire bush is an upright tree or shrub which can reach 30 feet. It requires an acid soil in sun or part shade (heavy shade will prevent it from flowering). It resents root disturbance, so plant it carefully and don't even think about moving it. This form has narrow leaves and is the hardiest. Any suckers should be carefully removed in February (while it is dormant) and potted up to make new plants.
