In addition, its bark is gray-brown and its wood is dense and strong. This tree is an excellent choice for urban and residential landscapes, providing shade in summer and vibrant autumn foliage. It is also highly resistant to disease and insect pests, making it a low-maintenance, easy-care option for any landscape.
