This tree is a protected species in British Columbia. I found this out only because I have a very old one in my back yard and we have been informed that we cannot cut it down. Fortunately, it is very lovely during the short blooming period this particular tree has. Unfortunately, it was not ever taken care of and was planted beside the septic tank...hmmm, I wonder if that is why it doesn't bloom for very long.
