I know. "You're going to do rosemary?"
I got two of 'm.
I searched the forum, and didn't see anything on rosemary.
I'm pretty sure I posted a picture of one of them.
Any idea on how well it backbuds or handles training?
It does not do backbudding. It can be wired but be careful - branches can break without warning.
I'm especially interested in styling suggestions!
Prune the long shoots. Make sure that you leave a couple of needles on the remaining branch; do not cut back to bare wood.
Strip the needles (from the cuttings, not the plant!). They go well with baked potatoes, coarse salt and roasted garlic.
