Comments:
Makes a large tree that would be a very desirable specimen. Older trees have a loose, open habit of growth. Lower branches on older trees turn brown and die, probably as a result of being shaded out. For all members of this genus provide a well drained soil. Does not perform well in the hot, humid South.
