Comments:
|
For use in the
western part of the county only.
Highly-desirable native for coastal areas and an
excellent tree for small spaces and poor soils.
Caution should be used in placement of the tree,
as it will be damaged in cold weather. The tree
requires routine pruning to maintain strong
structure. Silver-leafed variety is smaller.
