Medium sized tree, grows well in most situations, great accent tree,streaming white flowering mid summer, known to grow and flower well in partial shade. Better to plant full grown .5 - 1 in caliper (4-6 ft) trees for full effect in a landscape.

Maintenance

Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering can be reduced after establishment. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.
