Comments:

With formative pruning in the nursery this tree has good form and makes a ideal medium sized specimen tree or can be used as an avenue or street tree planting. Rarely attached by pests, is very drought tolerant but does benefit from irrigation during dry spells particularly during establishment, that said it will tolerate wet soils with low oxygen levels but compacted soils are a problem.

All plant dimensions are estimates only and ultimate size and growth rates will depend on growing conditions, particularly when used in some urban environments. All estimates are based around a 20-year time frame. With maturity most species will grow much larger.
