Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From seed shared with us by the UCSC arboretum this beautiful form of a rare Himalayan giant grows to some 30 to 50', eventually reaching much greater size. Deep rooted, durable, this should make a fine garden or street tree where space is allowed, if given some summer water, especially in youth. USDA Zone 7.
