Cultivation details
Prefers a sunny position in a rich strong loam with abundant moisture at the roots[11, 200]. Succeeds in areas that do not experience prolonged winter temperatures below about -12°c[200], but young plants and the young shoots of older trees can be cut back by winter frosts[11]. Plants are tolerant of compacted soils[200]. The leaves are resinous to the touch and emit a resinous aroma[245]. The root system of this tree is too invasive for small gardens[200]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
