Comments:

An outstanding, tough,
small-medium sized tree. Ideal for areas with small
root spaces. Low maintenance and long life span
makes it a good choice for small yards or parking
lots. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find in tree
form at this time, but the shrub form can easily be
grown as a tree.
