About

This small to medium tree offers distinctive tiered branching, creating an elegant, architectural silhouette. Its leaves often display attractive seasonal colour before shedding, adding visual interest throughout the year.

Growing notes

It exhibits a moderate to fast growth rate and is remarkably drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal supplemental watering. Generally hardy and low-maintenance, it thrives in coastal conditions without special care.
