It requires consistently wet soil, so be sure to establish cuttings directly next to a water source. Larval host for the Mourning Cloak and Viceroy.
Zone: 4-9 (Map)
Habitat: Consistently moist, well-drained soil. Can thrive in flooded areas. Full sun to part shade.
Growth: 40 ft wide, 60 ft tall at maturity.
