Description

The Japanese Pagoda Tree is a deciduous tree that grows to 20' tall with a round head and dark gray green, smooth bark when young. In the late summer, lovely panicles of white flowers will be seen. Bark becomes furrowed with age. This beautiful tree needs well draining soil and full or partial sun.

Water Saving Tip:

Apply as little fertilizer as possible.

If you use fertilizer make sure it stays on the landscape, and carefully water it in so there is NO runoff.
