Amazing shade tree
Reviewed By: Michele (Landenberg, PA)
We have two of these trees in our yard now. The growth is amazing each year at least five feet per year. One side of the tree was cut off due to a dead branch somehow one year after we planted it. It only took two summer season for the dead side to fill out and the tree is gorgeous now. Fits right up against our cemented patio and gives beautiful shade exactly where we wanted it. Birds love this tree and the branches are spaced perfectly for bird lovers to view.
