Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A heat-loving, cold-tolerant tree that forms a magnificent, broad spreading shade tree. It does self seed IF it has a mate -- plants are male or female. Without a mate, there is no self-seeding. It shouldn't be planted where it could encroach into 'minimally managed areas' unless there are no others in the area and you only plant one. This is true for various maples as well. But a single plant doesn't self seed and makes a great, great, wide-spreading shade tree that doesn't get terribly tall! This can be a great tree BUT we are all steward of the earth so plant responsibly.
