Description

This slow-growing tree has a distinct, narrow habit. Its roots system, however, is shallow, so it will compete with turf and make mowing turf around this tree a bit difficult. This tree is still popular for street planting because of its upright habit. The leaves turn yellow in the fall.

Water Saving Tip:

Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.

Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
