This is a really nice must have JM but it tends to need a bit of attention . Although hardy protection will help and containerizing is probably a good thing . This is a much sought after JM but I would put it in the novice on up category not beginner . VERY pretty especially in spring and early summer with great possibilities for those who want a special tree that needs a bit of nudging along.
Winter Hardiness: Zone 5 - Down to -20°
Summer Hardiness: Tree will be planted in partial shade
