This deciduous tree will grow quickly to 50' tall and 40' wide. It has smooth, dark green leaves that turn yellow in fall. Branches are brittle and breaking which causes shape of tree to be irregular. Pale green flowers bloom in spring, before leafing out occurs. Flowers are inconspicuous. This tree is considered invasive since seeds can self sow. Plant in a difficult hillside.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
