H36-48 in. x W36 in. This nearly spherical cultivar has dense, deep-green growth on an intermediate-sized shrub, which may elongate to thirty feet over many years. Quite tolerant of sun with consistently moist soil. Plants shipped are from one-gallon pots. Hardy to Zone 6.

Many dwarf and intermediate cultivars have been selected from this enormous tree from Japan and China. Softly bristled foliage gives a pleasing effect in a moist rockery or shrub border. Rich, moist soil in partial shade is preferred; full sun is acceptable in mild coastal areas.
