This medium-sized tree will grow 15'-20' tall and produces wonderful white blooms. It can survive both dry and wet soil conditions. It is frost tolerant. The bark tears off readily in thin sheets of "paper", thus the common name Paperbark.

Water Saving Tip:

Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.

Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
