Comments on this photo
I must agree with you, Janey, it is indeed a stunning tree! Sorry to here about your tree being stunted but as you say the lack of sufficient water well may be the cause. As you can see from the photos this tree is growing near the edge of a pond so it will therefore get all the water it could possibly want.

Yes....perfect location for it....I remember the leaves are a pretty triangle shape too??

Here in this photo is where its true shape & height are best seen. The other one where it reflects in the water of the pond is "artificial". It has grown low over the water but this is its real hight & width.
