Be a lot simpler if you cold post a picture on this page with your message, woodzej. Dynamic lifter once a month might be a bit too often, once every 3 months is sufficient, and not at all during late autumn/winter.

i took your title name ... to google... found the latin ... again googled.. then flipped to images ... see link below ... this is how i try to SEE ... the potential of a given named plant ... frankly ... though you can prune things to your hearts desire ... it might have too much potential for your yard .. but how hard you want to work pruning.. is up to you ... but keep in mind.. will you still be willing to do it in 10.. or 20 years ... i made some bad decisions.. about 15 years ago ... lol .. with some shrubs that are now taking up a lot of square feet ... but luckily.. i have 5 acres ... ken https://www.google.com/search?q=odoratissimum+var.+awabuki.&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=l7CRVd_jDMPLogSX2IXICw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=842&bih=745&dpr=0.9

i cant tell from the pix.. but are you sure its not just the weight of the flowers.. pulling down the branches ??? they were large transplants ... they were stressed by the process ... including shipping from grower to seller ... frankly.. that taken into consideration.. they dont look all that bad ... and of course.. a heavy flowering after transplant is an added stress ... ALL plants.. even evergreens ... shed leaves.. and it can be increased by all the stress ... and there can be damaged leaves in the process ... so losing a few here or there is nbd ... see link below.. regarding water ... i dont know about 30 mins every day ... what is your native soil.. and how were they planted??? .. i would tend to insert finger.. or take a small hand trowel ... and dig a couple 3 to 6 inch holes near the root ball planted .... and find out how water moves thru the soil .. and let them near dry .. in between waterings ... [with the caveat.. that i never watered plants in FL ... in what is probably sand???] you didnt leave much room for future growth ... i hope you know how to prune .. other than haircuts .... a good pair of pruning shears will help with that ... when the time comes .... welcome to the forums ... ken https://sites.google.com/site/tnarboretum/Home/planting-a-tree-or-shrub

When I ge(t deformed leaves on plants here in Florida, my first thought (now) is chili thrips.... especially as it starts to warm up. a way to determine if it is chili thrips .... take a white piece of paper and place it under the the deformed leaves (they attack new leaves first - but if you have a bad infestation it will attack the whole plant) and shake it.... if you get little dots on the paper it is chili thrips..... to correct the problem use something that has a high concentration of spionsad (Conserve) and spray NOT in the heat of the day.... normally late at evening or first thing in the morning.... this will get them under control. The spray will kill beneficials .... but only on contact.... in the long run you will probably not want to continue to spray - so as NOT to keep hurting the beneficials and not to get the CT's to be immune to it..... in the future to keep them under control you will want to get some ornamental hot peppers (only certain ones will work because of their under leaf structure..... Masquerade , Red Missile , and/or Explosive Ember . Plant these around your yard. When they start to flower you can purchase and introduce swirskii mites as a biological control. To find the study done by the Florida University google banker plant and swirskii mite. Good luck.
