It is stunning planted as a specimen in the lawn, either with a single trunk or as a broader tree of several stems.Garden care: Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly.
