Comments:
Grows reltively fast when young. Does not transplant easily. Young, small, container grown plants survive well. White flowers should be displayed against a red or darker background to be most effective and appreciated. Relatively short-lived. Large, mature trees seldom seen. A very striking specimen in full flower in early spring before the foliage appears.
