Comments: |
Despite its beautiful flower display, this tree should be avoided for all but the largest planting areas. The tree is not resistant to decay, prone to root rot and is brittle in high winds. Often seen in poor conditions because it is inappropriately placed in the landscape and maintained poorly. |
