We first saw a magnificent specimen of this tree in the gardens of Green Spring in Alexandria, VA. We were so impressed with the tree that we planted one close to our front entry several years ago. Although we have ours planted in a full sun situation in Zone 6a, Dirr suggests "probably best in partial shade in Zone 7 and 8".

From Michael Dirr's Manual of Woody Landscape Plants:
"A lovely, small, low-branched tree which develops a rounded to broad-rounded crown and a distinct horizontal appearance because of the wide-spreading branches; a very dainty tree which will grace any landscape".
