Introduction
Description:The leaves come out of the bud conduplicate with slightly involute margins, pale yellow green, downy; when full grown are thin, bright green, rough above, paler green beneath. The warty gray bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape. It is not particular as to soil type or pH, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is not as tolerant of pests. There are sprays available if you care to reduce this cosmetic problem. Skilled pruning is required for the species several times during the first 15 years of life to prevent formation of weak branch crotches and weak multiple trunks. No terminal bud is formed.
