Plant in full sun and at least 10 feet from sidewalks or your house due to the shallow massive root system. It is an easy to care for tree with few pests or problems affecting it. The Majestic Beauty cultivar is grown frequently in Northern California.
What is special about this tree besides all the gorgeous flowers is that it will go briefly deciduous to flower with massive amounts of flowers in the fall, often in October when little else is putting on a colorful display.
Past flowering, pear shaped pods develop with seeds that have silky floss attached so they can flutter in the wind till they find a place to land.
