Siting This Tree

Tolerant of pollution and salt, it can battle through many soil conditions that others cannot. A low mess tree that does have berries, but they are usually not a much of a cleanup nuisance and do provide food for birds and other small wildlife.

Considerations

This tree does have indeterminate growth which means it will continue to put out new growth as juvenile late into the fall. Because of this dead twig and some dieback is common with this tree as a juvenile which may be cosmetically unappealing to some clients.
