Growth & mature size
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 10–15 m in width. Allow room for a tall trunk and broadly conical crown; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.
How to care
How to care
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment and water again whenever the upper soil dries. 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.
