Growth & mature size
Growth & mature size
Expect around 60–100 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 12–20 m in height and 12–20 m in width. Allow room for a broad, low-sweeping canopy; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.
How to care
How to care
Plant in deep soil that stays moist; allow ample room for mature roots and crown. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially in summer. 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.
