Foliage often changes color in winter. Tolerant of alkaline and acid soils. Best growth in full sun to part shade in well-drained, moist to dry soil.

Full sun to partial shade. Medium-to-wet loam/soil that will also tolerate acidic and heavy clay.

Tends to develop problems in heavy clay soil. Prefers acid soil and gets chlorotic symptoms (pale green leaves) in high pH soils. Shallow root system benefits with a few inches of mulch to moderate soil temperature. It is also beneficial to shelter the plant from wind.

Grows in full sun in wet or dry sites but best in well-drained soil. Tolerant of heavy shade. An excellent plant for sceening or to use along ponds and stream banks.

Full sun in well drained soil, pH tolerant A relatively low-maintenance tree

Suitable for: light (sandy) and medium (loamy) soils, prefers well-drained soil and can grow in nutritionally poor soil. Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. It cannot grow in the shade. It prefers dry or moist soil and can tolerate drought.

This tree does not tolerate heat, drought, or urban conditions. Shelter from strong winter winds to avoid winter burn. Soil Preference: Moist, well-drained soil. Light Exposure: Full sun, Partial sun/shade, Full shade

Full sun to partial shade, naturally occurs in dry woodland understory. Best in slightly acid soil that is moist, fertile and well-drained, can tolerate dry gravelly soils in partial shade once established. Difficult to transplant and slow to establish. Not tolerant of salt.
