In cultivation ,the tree will attain a height of 20-30' and a width of 10-15'. Following 50 to 60 years, the tree will reach 35'.

Water Saving Tip:

Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.

Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.

Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
