Tolerant of harsh climatic conditions as well as urban abuse, this deeply rooted North American native tree rarely lifts sidewalks. Adapted to high pH soils and periodic flooding, it also tolerates extremes of heat, cold and drought. Tough, corky bark adds visual interest and protects against damage.
