Notes
Large highly ornamental shade tree with dense canopy and white flowers. Not salt tolerant and leaves and trunk burn when on exposed sites. Should be reserved for park and wide parkway plantings on protected sites with better soil. Susceptible to leaf scorch in drought conditions. Selections are not reliably cold hardy.
