Best planted in full sun. Will take any soil type. Fast growing large tree with an upright narrow habit of growth when young but finally spreading when mature. Will get 70 -80 ft tall with a 50 to 60 ft spread. Deciduous but only briefly.
Leaves are opposite and pinnately compound.
Leaves typically have 5 to 9 glossy green leaflets. Best used in the landscape as a background tree. Will take any type of soil and survive almost any type of conditions. Frosts may kill back some branches. Drying winds my cause some dieback.
