I have small white flowers from late winter borne along the tops of my foliage which tend to make me look like am covered in a light dusting of snow.

I am a hardy steady growing and very well behaved and long lived tree. I almost never drop limbs making me a good choice for public areas.

I grow quickly when young and more slowly as I mature which combined with my dense form makes me a great screening tree. I can also be an ideal shade or feature tree.

Being very hardy I am well suited to coastal conditions and exposed locations.
