This dependable tree quickly reaches 25'-30' high and 15' wide. It has an upright pyramidal form. Oval, glossy green leaves turn reddish bronze in fall.

Water Saving Tip:

Give your sprinkler system a checkup when turning it on in the spring and occasionally during the summer.

Trim branches that are obstructing spray patterns and raise sprinklers that are too low for spray to clear the grass.
