“An excellent specimen tree for medium to large sites, or planted in groups along the edges of ponds and small streams. Especially useful for beautifying retention ponds, drainage swales, and canal banks. Also useful as a street tree, especially along wet roadsides. Sometimes used in parking lots. Essential for wetland restoration projects.” Florida’s Best Native Landscape Plants 200 Readily Available Species for Homeowners and Professionals, by Gil Nelson, 2003, University Press of Florida, Page 366
