two rows zig-zag with the plants at apexes of say 9-inch triangles. When set out the plants should be cut 
back to a few inches. The next Spring they can be cut back to 6 or 8 inches. This repeated will form a 
dense and widely branching growth. In severe Winters the tops kill back in this latitude but soon recover.
