Hardy in USDA Zones 5-7, it thrives in temperatures ranging from -20°F to -10°F. Fall color remains a vibrant golden-yellow, with year-round interest stemming from its foliage rather than flowers or fruit. Preferred soil conditions are well-drained and moderately fertile, and its mature height can reach up to 40-50 feet, with an approximate width of 10-15 feet, depending on growth conditions. Deer-resistant and adaptable to various light conditions, it develops into a striking focal point in gardens and landscapes.
