Growth & mature size
Growth & mature size
Expect around 30–60 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 10–15 m in height and 3–5 m in width. Allow room for a slender, ascending 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.
