A conifer that is deciduous. Attractive in many seasons, especially in the fall. Most trees get 35-50 feet tall. Usually grows slowly, about one foot a year. Under ideal conditions it can grow up to 3 feet a year.
Just after you exit off the freeway and before our parking lot, you can see three of them above a Camellia hedge.
