Firethorn? Almost 1 year progress

[xray360]

I'm not sure if this is a firethorn. I was told it was but not sure. I got it last July and let it grow freely only pruning it back a few times. It seems to be a fast grower and is starting to develop a nice shape.


First purchased July 2012

Let me know what you guys think and any tips. Thanks.

It's a variegated firethorn. I had one of these in the mid-nineties. If they're well cared for, they can give you a very nice display of foliage. They don't flower and have berries. They're a tropical. You seem to be on the right track.
