I am sure I have seen it realy hammered out in Malta where it is very
common.I'd cut some of the stems hard this year ASAP so that the new
growth has time to grow and ripen before the autumn, Then cut back the

It's used as hedging in e.g. Majorca and Menorca, so I think it can probably
be kept pretty much in control!
