Growing Tips & Maintenance

  • This native plant grows best in a fertile, moist, well-drained soil, however, in its natural state, it will grow in soils ranging from stony sand to light clay.
Note

Additional Notes

  • Native to Ontario and much of Canada. One of the first trees to grow after a fire. It grows quickly, producing fruit after only 2-3 years, prompting a colony to spring up, providing shelter for other plants. Its life expectancy is 30 years. The bark, flowers, leaves and stems are highly poisonous to human beings.
