This is a tree I've grown from seeds. The young plants I have in pots are really cool. Big, round leaves, and now, for the first time, flowers, and a zig-zag growth habit. But I must say the one time I've seen this plant growing in the ground (at Spring Grove Arboretum), I was fairly disappointed. It looked kind of ratty. I now have one seedling planted in the ground, and sooner or later the others will follow, so I will hopefully find that the Spring Grove plant is just a poor example.
