Outdoor Plant Size
A vigorous native shade tree prized for its rapid growth and fragrant spring leaf buds—sticky and aromatic. Fall foliage releases an equally pleasant scent. Exceptionally hardy and adaptable to diverse soil and climate conditions, making it ideal for challenging landscapes. Note: aggressive root system requires distance from foundations and underground utilities. Best suited for spacious properties where its spreading roots won't interfere with structures.
