Tips for Care:
Although this tree is low-maintenance, it must be initially planted properly in full to partial sun with well-drained soil to allow it to grow to its mature size and unique columnar form of 35 feet or so tall and less than half that wide. Regular moisture while becoming established in its new home, after, just provide a drink before winter and during times of drought.
A gorgeous tree won’t turn down a little spa day either. Little to no pruning is typically needed but can be done in summer as needed to avoid bleeding.
