| Description | This mountain tree would be most appropriate for Northern Arizona residents or for landscaping at high elevations (i.e. Summerhaven). Probably best avoided for those at lower elevations where drought and heat will inhibit the best performance of this species. A good understory tree which turns gorgeous shades of red and gold in the fall. |
