Care Instructions

Light: Full sun for best flowering; light afternoon shade can reduce stress in Phoenix. Avoid intense reflected heat from west-facing walls.

Water: Moderate water in Phoenix; irrigate deeply and let the upper several inches of soil dry between waterings. Water regularly during establishment and increase frequency during extreme summer heat.

Soil: Well-drained soil; tolerates clay and sandy soils but prefers slightly acidic to neutral conditions. Alkaline Phoenix soils may cause iron chlorosis.

Mature size: 20–30 feet tall and 15–25 feet wide.

Bloom: White flower clusters from late spring through summer, sometimes continuing into early fall; flowers form on new growth.

Evergreen / deciduous: Deciduous.

Growth rate: Moderate to fast with adequate water and suitable soil.
