Comments:
Birds eat the nut-like seeds which mature in the fall. Male and female flowers on same tree. A very popular tree in English landscapes. Trees are often planted to form hedge rows and may be pruned into various shapes to form paths and other passage ways. Makes a handsome lawn specimen although growth is quite slow.
