Description
This evergreen to semi-evergreen tree is both upright and narrow when young, but assumes a spreading form when older. Since it is shallow rooted, deep waterings are essential for deeper rootings. When the tree is young, any long and unsightly branches should be cut back. It can quickly reach 80' tall and 40' wide. Leaves are evergreen with leaflets, up to 7" long. It prefers full sun and moderate amount of water.
