Cultivation details
Landscape Uses:Border, Pest tolerant, Specimen. Best grown in a warm sheltered site on a deep fertile soil with a pH between 5 and 6 and an annual rainfall of around 1000mm[200]. Plants dislike dry winds and soils that dry out readily[200]. Slow-growing[11]. A difficult tree to grow well in cool temperate regions, if planted out when small it is easily scorched and can be killed by temperatures of -5°c[200]. In Britain good trees are only found in the southern part of the country[200]. Plants prefer a continental climate with hot summers - they are then much hardier and tolerate cold winters[200]. Best planted out when 30 - 80cm tall, it needs to be kept weed free until established and might require winter protection for its first few years[200]. There are several named forms, selected for their ornamental value[200]. Special Features:Not North American native, Inconspicuous flowers or blooms.
