Moderately fast-growing, semi-evergreen to deciduous tree to 15-30’ tall and wide. Nearly evergreen in mild climates. Prized for both its handsome foliage and profusion of showy, fragrant white flowers that provide an eye-catching display from late-winter to early-spring. This species seldom fruits, though clusters of small bronze-green fruit occasionally appear in late summer. A popular choice for warmer western climates that is well-suited as a small courtyard, patio, lawn or street tree, and young multi-branched specimens are often used as an attractive flowering espalier. Tolerates heat and a variety of soil types, growing best in full sun with regular watering in a well-drained soil.
USDA Zone: 8A-9B
