Comments:
Grows fast for first few years. Pinkish-lavender flowers appear before foliage. Is a relatively short-lived tree and subject to verticillium wilt. A prolific self-seeder in areas where conditions are favorable. Tress do not bloom until they are several years old. Reported to be quite sensitive to air pollution.
