Hi, I have a 100 year old coprosma in my back patio in Cape Town. When we bought the house, bougainvillea had grown over the canopy and was killing the bush/tree. We have cut the bougainvillea back to give the coprosma adequate sunlight.
Now that it is getting lots of sunlight, how much and how frequently should we be watering it (especially during the summer)?
It’s about 3 meters tall and 5 meters wide and looks like a knotty tree.

I can’t speak to that, but I can say to be careful with leaving string lights wrapped around it like that as they can cause damage if left too long
