How to Care for the Plant

Water
Only occasional watering in summer.
Temperature
As a deciduous plant it can be hardy to 15 to 20 °F but for us it retains some leaves and tolerates our natural winter rainfall and near freezing temperatures. A great plant for a small treelike bonsai and very tolerant of being held for long periods in small pots.
Container
Gravel beds or can flourish as a bonsai-type tree in a large container.
