Growth & mature size
Expect around 40–80 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 20–30 m in height and 12–20 m in width. Allow room for a broad, open crown; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.
How to care
How to care
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Water deeply through the first growing seasons and during prolonged dry spells later on. Top-dress with mature compost once a year in spring, keeping it clear of the stems. Remove damaged or crossing branches as needed, avoiding heavy routine pruning.
