Uses | This tree makes for a lovely specimen tree in parks and gardens. It creates a robust habitat for birds and insects and delivers great colour in the garden for the majority of the year. This variety performs well in areas of low humidity and it should be noted that it is prone to limb drop in areas susceptible to windy conditions. |
