I have this tree growing in the southwest corner of my yard & I love it. It provides nice shade in the summer. The bees are crazy for the flowers. I like the shape too.

This tree transplants very easily. It withstands a wide range of conditions although it reaches maximum development on rich, moist bottomlands or on soils of a limestone origin.

It is tolerant of drought conditions, high soil pH and salty conditions.

It is an excellent lawn tree for filtered shade and grows very quickly.
