Its strong central leader and pleasing pyramidal habit make it a landscape designer's favorite.

Care & maintenance

Requires regular watering during establishment. Fertilize in spring with a balanced tree fertilizer. Prune in late summer or early fall to remove dead or crossing branches and maintain desired shape. Avoid pruning in early spring when sap is flowing heavily. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
