Comments
Comments: 

A fast growing tree that generally does not require pruning or maintenance.  Dry conditions of the Southwest can cause problems with spider mites in early spring. If tree appears 'dusty', washing the tree down with a jet of water can help.  This washing needs to be repeated five days later to control mites.
