This variety is very winter hardy and adaptable. It can tolerate both wet and dry conditions, as well as heavy summer pruning to maintain its shape. This is a popular and versatile small clump tree that can be used in a variety of different applications in the landscape. It is most commonly grown as a specimen tree, but it can also be planted in groups or as privacy screens.
