Growing Conditions & Care:
Sunlight: Prefers dappled or part shade; full sun can scorch leaves, especially in hotter climates.
Soil: Needs moist, rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
Watering: Keep consistently moist, especially until established, and mulch to retain moisture.
Wind: Protect from hot, dry winds.
Pruning: Minimal pruning needed, best done in winter to shape or remove damaged branches.

Uses in the garden:

• Feature tree in gardens or large pots.
• Creates an excellent focal point for winter interest.
• Can be planted in groups for a forest-like effect or screening.
