I find this tree to be very attractive in my zone 4/5 canadian rock garden, it is low maintenance (I have not had to water it despite a fairly significant drought), and provides a great focal point to the garden. It was severely attacked by catepilars, but rebounded following treatment within 1 months time. Great addition to the garden.
