Comments: |
For use in western county and barrier
islands only.
Without proper pruning, branches are subject to
breakage. Potential pests include tip moth caterpillars,
scale and webworm, but none are significant. Surface
roots will be a problem in urban areas. Large fruit
casings can litter lawn and pavement. A nice tropical
shade tree when properly maintained. |
