Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: Mature Width: Habitat: Forests, 2100 - 2700 metres[146]
Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in this country. Trees coppice well and seedlings are fairly shade tolerant[146, 158]. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus.
Prefers a good deep fertile loam which can be on the stiff side[1, 11]. Young plants tolerate reasonable levels of side shade[200]. Tolerates moderate exposure, surviving well but being somewhat stunted[200].
Prefers warmer summers than are usually experienced in Britain, trees often grow poorly in this country and fail to properly ripen their wood resulting in frost damage overwinter[200].
Intolerant of root disturbance, trees should be planted in their permanent positions whilst young[11].
Hybridizes freely with other members of the genus[200].
Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
