Will maintain this characteristic if pruned back annually & grown as a bush. Otherwise, it will grow quickly to 50 ft. & will have a mature willow shaped leaf above 8 ft. Narrow, columnar form. Evergreen. Cider gums can be tapped on warm summer days for sap, as a sweet drink, fermented or boiled down to make a sweet syrup. |
