Período de floración
Guía de cuidados
Plant in full sun in a sheltered, warm spot in well-drained soil. Silk Tree tolerates drought and poor soils but is sensitive to severe frost. Protect young trees during their first winters with fleece. Once established, the tree is surprisingly self-sufficient.
Consejos de poda
Prune as little as possible. Remove dead wood and any frost-damaged branches in late spring. The natural umbrella-shaped crown looks best when the tree is allowed to grow freely.
