The number one stimulant of plant growth is irrigation water volume applied to landscapes. Therefore, use water wisely! Texas ranger is an iconic plant to practice this concept. Water Texas ranger less and it will respond with slower growth needing less pruning to keep it's size in check. Extensively rejuvenate Texas ranger shrubs during late February to early March and then leave them alone for the remainder of the year.
