Comments: |
Wind, pest, and drought
resistance, plus an ability to grow in small spaces,
make Soapberry a good tree for urban use in our
area. Unfortunately, it is not grown in enough
quantity at this time. Tree requires some structural
pruning when young and should be located where
berries will not be a problem (poisonous seeds). |
