Cultivation Notes:  Prefers a sandy loam and a very sunny position[1]. Succeeds in any good garden soil, this species is said to be fairly lime tolerant[11, 166, 182, 200]. Succeeds in a hot dry position[166]. This species is said to be hardy from mid-Sussex southwards and westwards[1]. However, trees are not very hardy outdoors in most parts of Britain and even in the mildest areas of the country they are likely to be killed in excessively harsh winters[11]. A very ornamental tree[1]. This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria, these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby[200].
