Comments: |
Straight and upright, usually much taller than wide. Tree is free of branches until top of crown and provides a high, thin shade. Best used in natural, informal plantings away from roads and structures. Intolerant of disturbance or new irrigation. Great tree for wildlife, but subject to failure in high wind events. |
