Usage
Full Description
It should be planted in rich damp soil with a fairly sheltered position. Can tolerate full sun and partial shade.
The leaves are dark green with a leathery appearance with red stalks having hardly any autumn colouring although they have been known to turn pink. In the right conditions it can reach 20m in height. Best planted on a damp site.
Aftercare
Once planted we would suggest staking the tree in order to help it establish its roots. Water well especially during the first year of planting and if hot weather then advised to water whenever. Loves full sun.
