Comments: |
A very durable, low-maintenance tree that should be used more in our area. Non-aggressive roots, slow growth and high urban tolerance make this one of the best shade trees for the western part of the county. Foliage will be burned by sub-freezing temperatures, but little damage occurs to the woody structure of the tree. |
