It's fairly fast growing as well, at least the green one is; I haven't
grown the variegated ones. We planted it to fill a gap in a line of
shrubs along our side boundary and it's soon made a dense 8 - 9ft
screen and seems to take any amount of pruning in its stride. I find
it quite a handsome evergreen, and the scent is a real bonus. It ought
to make a good alternative choice to, say, laurel for a hedge where
the tightly clipped look isn't necessary.

Can you train/prune one to a small tree as you can with Buddleia
Alternitfolia. I'd like to grow one but it would be nice to make a
small tree rather than shrub so I can underplant.

I haven't tried to grow it as a standard but I don't see why not. It'd
have a stiffer sort of character to it compared to the Buddleia, but
there are sites online, e.g. http://www.standardtrees.co.uk/ , that
sell them as standards (at scary prices!) so it's certainly possible.
They seem to reshoot after pruning as soon as you turn your back, mind
you, so it might need a weather eye kept on it to keep the trunk bare.
:-)

In fact now you mention it I think I'll stick few cuttings in and have a
go. You're very welcome to cuttings if they're likely to be any use
after a trip through the post.
