“Used either as a specimen tree or in groupings to form a grove. Also used in moist to moderately wet sites. When growth space is allowed, it forms a broad, spreading crown with relatively low branches; otherwise it produces high branches and a tighter crown. Especially good for roadside applications within its natural range.” Florida’s Best Native Landscape Plants 200 Readily Available Species for Homeowners and Professionals, by Gil Nelson, 2003, University Press of Florida, Page 260
