This tree is great for providing shade. It can reach 30 ft tall. In colder regions, leaves turn yellow in autumn. It does not do well in tightly compacted soils, such as clay. The blooms are fragrant and appear in summer. It is a fast growing tree.

Someone pulled up this tree and gave it to me about 5 yrs ago...

I put it in the ground and it is now about 20ft tall (so it grows fast) and this is the first year it has bloomed theese long shoots of weeping, highly scented flowers, which bees, and butterflies love...
