Description
This is a warm growing medium sized tree. It grows in full sun to part sun. It loves moist soil and grows quickly in the warm season. Young trees require lots of water to grow, less as the plant matures. Over watering can cause root rot or root damage, let the top few inches of soil dry in between watering, don’t let the soil stay consistently soggy. For soil, look for something that holds onto moisture, but isn’t too dense, you still want some drainage. Protect from frost.
