Frequently Asked Questions
The flowers are pale yellow and bloom in early summer. They are highly fragrant and attract bees and other beneficial pollinators.
No. This tree is relatively low maintenance. It drops some small flowers and leaves in fall, but overall it is very tidy and well suited for high-traffic or public areas.
Minimal pruning is needed. You can remove lower branches in winter to raise the canopy if desired, but the tree naturally maintains a strong central leader and symmetrical form.
