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:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
