Professional tip
The secret to maximum scent? Plant the Moriah near a sitting area, entrance to the house, or under the bedroom window - the nighttime scent will be an experience! Perfect hedge: Plant 50-80 cm apart to create a dense hedge. Prune 2-3 times a year for maximum density. Frost protection: In areas with frost, plant near a south or west wall that radiates heat, or grow in a pot that can be brought inside. Moriah is related to citrus and can be used as a trunk for assembly!
