35 x 25 Hardy Zone 4. Conical to oval when young, becomes broadly pyramidal when mature. Has dense, twiggy growth that makes a very good screen. Quite tolerant to soil types. Transplants well when small.
Size varies according to richness of soil and available moisture.
Several cultivars are available. A beautiful, graceful tree native to the southeast states, but hardy in Iowa. Grows well in almost any deep, fertile, Iowa soils with adequate moisture. Rather drought tolerant once well established. Has a smooth, gray trunk with gracefully arching branches, rather like a miniature American elm.
