Description:
This small tree grows slowly, producing several stems on which appear branches covered with hanging and very narrow leaves.
Its main qualities are ornamental. Indeed, the peel of its bark makes it very decorative because it reveals gray, silver, salmon, greenish brown and caramel tones.
It is ideal in modest-sized gardens, it adapts to a warm temperate climate and poor or humid soil.
