Description

This evergreen to semi-evergreen tree is both upright and narrow when young, but assumes a spreading form when older. Since it is shallow rooted, deep waterings are essential for deeper rootings. When the tree is young, any long, unsightly branches should be cut back.Risk of invasiveness in riparian areas. Spreads aggressively by seedlings and can be a nuisance in a residential garden.
