Culturally, it is recommended not only as a street tree, but also in lawns, for shade, as a specimen, and is reportedly resistant to smog conditions.
From Chile, it tolerates any soil conditions, requires average fertilization, and moderate irrigation. However, I do not have any direct hands-on experience with it.
The trees i saw have been pruned in the past apparently and they were not outstanding specimens that catch the eye. Yet, my notes indicate that it has an attractive 'rich brown bark'. |
