Narrative

A somewhat narrow tree, up to 60 feet in height, with a gracefully pendant habit of growth. The distinguishing feature of this cultivar is that the trunk and second order lateral branches are strongly ascending, while the smaller branchlets are strongly drooping. The rate of growth averages between one and two feet in height per year. A striking specimen plant in most landscape situations. Because of its narrow growth habit and broad ecological tolerance, it also has potential as a street tree.
