Maintenance Tips

• Tolerates wet soils but also drought-resistant once established; water regularly in dry spells to support growth.
• Requires regular pruning to manage its rapid growth and prevent potential limb breakage.
• Adapts to a wide range of soil conditions; prefers moist, slightly acidic to neutral soil.
• Choose a planting site carefully to avoid future conflicts with infrastructure due to its large roots and broad canopy.
• Monitor for common pests like aphids and diseases such as verticillium wilt. Manage structural integrity to prevent damage from storms.
